about

An urban legend around Joplin, Missouri, the “spooklight” is described as an orb of light, appearing, hovering, and moving in the dark distance. There are numerous local legends to explain this eerie phenomenon; I particularly love the Native American story of deceased lovers, in search of one another for eternity. Others insist it is the spirit of a dead miner, traveling the path he would have followed in life. A scientific investigation in 2014 attempted to debunk any supernatural explanations, concluding the lights were head and tail lights from an interstate nine miles away.

This quintet gives its performers a unique opportunity to lean into the unsettled, ethereal mood of a dark, quiet highway and the sudden jolts of adrenaline that follow the unexpected. As with all of Chamberlain’s works, the piece creates a complete sound world - with cheeky musical references from the composer.
