🎵Sound on!🎵 Colin Hutton's (Age 14, Arizona) classical composition "At the Atoll" earned a Silver Award in Music in our 2018 Ocean Awareness Contest. "In the first movement of my piece, the listener is slowly immersed in the coastal habitat and discovers the beauty and grandeur of the coral reef. The slight transitions from major to minor chords represents gentle breakers lapping on the shore. The second movement introduces all the different characters living in the reef as they assemble for a dance. The more melancholy feel of the third movement is due to the tragic abundance of coral bleaching in reefs all around the world. Here, the piece transitions as if all of the inhabitants of the reef were pleading to us humans to fix the damage we have caused to their home after showing us the importance and the wonder of the coral reef." . . . #climatechange #globalwarming #music #composer #symphony #minisymphony #youngcomposer #ocean #coral #saveourseas #bethechange #artforchange #artiv...
