    Starry Night

    Uploaded by

    Susanna Payne-Passmore
    "Starry Night" (March 2011) is written for string quintet (string quartet + bass). It was premiered by the Sybarite5. "Starry Night" depicts that moment when you look up at the stars and find closeness with loved ones despite being apart. The first time I wrote this piece, it was a song, and that distance was the separation between me and my family during college. The second time, I wrote the piece for the Sybarite5 and my cousin had recently passed away. But I found that gazing at the stars had that same effect of bringing me closer, although this time, the distance is absolute.
