NORTHERN LIGHTS (2012)
Kati Agocs
“Northern Lights is a newly commissioned work from Kibbey’s upcoming tour and album titled The Bridge Project, which celebrates international threads in American culture. Northern Lights ignites with sharp dissonances, moving through a fluty warm melody in the second movement; a Newfoundland folk song comes third, followed by an emotionally complex setting of the “Huron Carol.” The fifth movement swells, then trails off in a rapidly glittering auroral arpeggio.”
