Charon’s Lullaby started its life as a piece for orchestra in three movements. The opening offstage flugelhorn solo was originally written for unaccompanied cornet and was one of the first pieces that I wrote and performed. As I was beginning to write more for Wind Ensemble, I decided to combine the ideas of all three movements of the original orchestral piece and add accompaniment under the (now) flugelhorn solo.

Charon’s Lullaby represents a juxtaposition of sleep and death. In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman of the dead. This “Lullaby” is being sung by him as he ferries the souls across the river Acheron, in order to bring them peace. The piece begins with a lot of dissonance and the wails of ghosts can be heard through the brass. At the end, as the souls reach peace, the dissonance dissolves into Eb major.

The percussion act symbolically throughout such as twelve strikes in the chimes to represent midnight, then three more times at the end, representing the bewitching hour. The triangle adds a sparkle on top of the color of the ensemble reminiscent of the sound of a dreamcatcher or a wind chimes caught in a tiny gust of wind. The percussion and the harp together are evocative of a music box.

A celesta may be substituted for the harp if a harp isn't available.
