Cosmic Dust 2 is a 14 minute work that explores a little deeper some of the ideas from my first Cosmic Dust—especially the imitative arpeggio accompaniments that create a "blurred gossamer” harmony as well as moments of chamber music within the orchestra. There are even solo opportunities for a string quartet, woodwinds, glockenspiel, brass, plus an extended violin cadenza at the climax of the work. The piece opens and closes with wide-array chords that create a celestial effect.

Cosmic Dust 2 may be accompanied with a visual slideshow with astronomical images from the Hubble Space Telescope. It was written for the 30^th anniversary of the telescope.
