Program Notes

Definitely an enjoyable work that's off the beaten path! Written entirely in one tempo, the meter alternates between 4/4 and 6/8 throughout, creating an ingenious effect of pulsating motion along with layers of textures and sounds. Starting with a soloistic dialogue between flute and clarinet, the work progresses to thicker sonorities and thrilling percussive effects including clapping and shouting.
