Throughout history, humanity has feared the end of civilization---whether by natural disaster, cosmic collision, or the eventual burnout of our sun. Terminus Approaching, by Rossano Galante, brings this looming fate to life in a powerful cinematic orchestral work. Sweeping harmonies, soaring string lines, bold horn themes, and relentless rhythmic ostinati build an atmosphere of suspense and inevitability. With its dramatic intensity and evocative scoring, this advanced piece will leave a lasting impact on performers and audiences alike. (4:15)
