Novae was composed as a programmatic work for symphonic concert band. This ensemble has both the power and the delicacy necessary to convey the sonic impression of the explosion of a star in deep space. The form of Novae is based on the arch form suggested by the process of a nova. The work begins with a piccolo solo that represents the faint glow of a star in the distance, then builds to a climax with the explosion, and gradually fades once again to a glimmer. The harmonic language is based on two different five-note scales, each representing one of the two stars in the binary system.

Commissioned by Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Jack Stamp, Conductor of University Bands.
