Mercury in Retrograde

Description

Mercury in Retrograde, by Patrick Roszell, was inspired by the temporary optical illusion where the planet Mercury appears to move backward in the sky. This clever piece recreates that sense of mystery, weaving the simplest materials into a surprisingly mature and sophisticated composition.Create a mature and impressive sound with only the first few notes! This work uses clever scoring to create a sophisticated piece inspired by the famous astronomical illusion. With simple rhythms and fun clapping and stomping, it's the perfect "big-sounding" work for your beginning band.
