Cumulus

Composer: Sze Ying Chan

Words from composer

Cumulus is the Latin for clouds. Latin is usually associated with sacred music, but it is also used for scientific terms that describe the nature. This piece uses scientific names of different formation of clouds and the respective word painting to depict their transformation – a natural, everyday phenomenon. Even without the personification of God, in nature and everything that surrounds us we can find things with such power and beauty that we look at with fear and great respect.
