for chamber ensemble<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
is<\/p>\n
\u2013 a melody that journeys among instruments. Articulated note by note, slowly it moves forward, is fragmented and stretched taut, like the string of a bow.<\/p>\n
\u2013 an unexpected interruption to the melody: a fall. The harp and the trombone begin the descent, leading us finally to a sheer drop. Far below we hear the double bass and cello; in the heights, two Tibetan bells.<\/p>\n
\u2013 an interplay among fifteen musicians, a conductor, and you, the listening audience. Welcome!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
