A musical journey in three parts, each with its own breath:  The Compass, with the dialogue of the didgeridoo and flute, plus orchestra, evoking the kalyuyuru (shimmering light) in the Australian desert;  then Miramondo Multiplo exploring every aspect of the trumpet; and finally, moving back in time and space to Russia and Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony.
