The Candle Lagoon, Op.8 (World Premiere) | Noah Max, 2018 by Noah Max published on 2019-04-20T09:30:40Z Sheet music: https://ump.co.uk/catalogue/max-noah-the-candle-lagoon/ www.noahmax.net It is told that if you approach the Lagoon at sunset, light a small candle and whisper your darkest secret to the waters, the waters will respond by summoning forth from the depths of the Lagoon a vision of your future, laid bare in the evening light. The Tale of the Candle Lagoon tells of a child — you, me, humanity entire — who does just this, but sees in the surface of the Lagoon only a reflection of themselves, of the burning clouds and the setting sun, a ball of fire nestled under the water. As twilight turns to night and the world turns cold, the child wonders which is more terrifying: has History been falsified, or are they and the whole Universe destined to burn? Recorded live at the world premiere performance at St. Giles' Cripplegate on 26th November, 2018 Echo Ensemble: Winter Sun Conducted by the composer Genre Contemporary Classical
