Nazziola-Over the Horizon Duo Version (SP)-M/VN

Something liberating awaits us ahead…. We can see it faintly in the distance. It appears as a simmering, maroon-like hue just above the horizon - always in view, yet not attainable. However, we are driven in its direction. The use of fourths in the introductory motive in Over the Horizon is a basis for compositional development and represents motion towards the unknown. The harmonic trajectory throughout represents a pushing and pulling towards an unattainable goal.
