CMS Wind Ensemble commissions piece by Brad Ciechomski
The CMS Wind Ensemble commission local composer Brad Chiechomski. 'While Exeter Slept" had its world premiere at CMS on May 31st, 2012, with Mr. Chiechomski directing. The students met with the composer to develop the theme of the piece, and settled on basing the music on the 1963 UFO sightings near Exeter. The music reflected the fascination and fear of the encounter with an unknown, glowing spaceship in the woods.
