"When two entities in space are torn apart, there is created a rift. In numerous ways, Rift uses the ensemble to insinuate its two main themes: space and separation. Large, swelling, dynamic-phasing in the brass representing orbiting planets and sparkling woodwinds floating over an atmospheric bed of sound provided by the strings, alluding to stars, are just a few. Using polytonality, offset rhythms, constant-changing meter, and other techniques, Rift communicates separation. As the piece progresses, its listeners are brought to find the pieces greater, overall meaning." - Luke
