Moon Lake is a neo-classical orchestral composition by Spanish-Irish composer Richard Dobeson, blending acoustic and electronic textures in a serene, emotionally rich soundscape. Written for harp, strings, woodwinds, French horns, and cinematic percussion, the piece unfolds slowly, evoking the shimmering light of a full moon on a quiet mountain lake.
A constant harp arpeggio supports a flowing melody that passes gracefully between clarinet, oboe, and flute, sometimes combining in octaves to heighten its purity. Subtle electronic percussion adds mystery, like a whispered promise waiting to be fulfilled.
The music grows gently, with pizzicato basses, timpani, and taikos lending gravity without drama. Moon Lake carries no tension—only the peaceful beauty of nature and the calm of a heart that rests in eternal promises.
Inspired by Psalm 89:37, this is not just music for listening, but a moment of stillness to remember what endures:
“It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in the heavens.”
