Suggestion Box: Art I. Starry Night Over the Rh​ô​ne, Van Gogh

from Suggestion Box: Art by Michael R. Oldham

about

"Starry Night Over the Rhône" by Van Gogh was suggested by my friend, fellow composer, and former student Brian Clinkenbeard.

Here's Brian's take on why he suggested the artwork:

"I mainly requested 'Starry Night Over the Rhône' because I wrote my own musical interpretation of it for clarinet and piano. While it's the hardest writing experience I've ever had (a 6-minute piece that took 8 months to write), I found the painting to be a surprisingly rich well of musical inspiration, and I wanted to see what Michael would do with it."
