"Hyperbole", Original Composition, and Abstract Art

"Hyperbole", a composition of mine for String Orchestra; it won Second Place in the 2009/2010 IMEA Composition Competition for Large Ensemble Compositions

This performance is by the Whitney M. Young High School Philharmonic, conducted by Mr. Michael Mascari - many thanks to them!

The artwork is a selection of paintings by Annabel Emson, used with her permission; the paintings are entitled:
0:00 - 0:22 "Through Me"
0:22 - 0:45 "moon bird"
0:45 - 1:03 "Dark ~LIGHT"
1:03 - 1:29 "Light Beats"
1:29 - 1:47 "Steps"
1:47 - 2:06 "Pink Lake"
2:06 - 2:24 "Heaven"
2:24 - 2:47 "Slow Lake"

[SchuttMeNow]

Hyperbole ( /haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-pur-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή, 'exaggeration') is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
