Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.507394 Composed by Heather Cattanach. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional. Score. 4 pages. Published by Heather Cattanach (A0.507394). Hydrus is the male water snake, another constellation in the southern hemisphere named to match an existing ancient partner in the northern hemisphere. Hydrus is smaller than his counterpart Hydra, the largest constellation in the night sky. This constellation has been reconfigured more times than any other. Thus it seemed appropriate to use one of Messiaen’s scales of limited transposition, the sixth mode. The chord sequence is a palindrome, which is then reversed and flipped up to the right hand. From “88 Constellations†a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). Late Intermediate Piano Solo. Performance Time 1 1/2 minutes. 3 pages. (General Instructional, Modern, 21st Century, Repertoire, Recital).
