"When Daniel Kurganov asked for a piece that fit a starry celestial theme and I wanted something that might serve as a nod to his recent wedding, I found myself writing Aurora. Inspiration came from the quietude and solace that can be felt right before dawn; how this space changes when one chooses a mate to spend all dawns with.
Origin: the meaning of Aurora in Latin is "dawn", and also referred to Aurora, the Roman goddess of sunrise."
