Luminaries for solo percussion


There’s a neighborhood in Greensboro where the residents string giant balls of lights in their trees around Christmastime. The luminaries are beautiful, in an arresting way. When you drive through at night, the lights seem otherworldly, and almost holy. In the space of neighborhood traditions and wonderful marvels, Luminaries is about the interruption of the transcendent.
