The title Orbital Resonances No. 3 is taken from the astronomical phenomenon of two or more bodies periodically lining up and exerting a combined gravitational pull, which can have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect on their orbits. One of the best-known orbital resonances in the solar system is the relationship that exists between three of Jupiter’s Galilean moons, Io, Europa, and Ganymede. This relationship was the original inspiration behind the piece. Originally scored for piano, flute, percussion and electronics, the piece was reworked for McFalls – hence the No 3 in the title.
