Program Notes:
Arc of Visibility is inspired by a series of black-and-white photographs on the theme of moonlight. In one
of the photographs, a lighthouse stands in near total blackness, the top of which is illuminated by the moon
to mysterious and haunting effect.
The lighthouse image led me to discover the nautical term arc of visibility, the definition of which is the
portion of the horizon over which a lighted aid to navigation is visible from seaward. With this in mind,
Arc of Visibility is a navigation of musical waters by moonlight, through varying winds and weather.
