!2009"
a piece for Bb clarinet, cello, and piano
____________________________________________________
!
In much the same way as the artisan weaves thread on a loom, the
composer weaves or expresses his ideas on the sta". Both artists must think on
a vertical and horizontal level. Tapestry, expressions of color, is a single#movement
piece for clarinet, cello, and piano that encompasses this particular aesthetic.
Much of the melodic and harmonic material is derived from a combination of
whole#tone and octatonic scales as well as two tetrachords, the first being
constructed of a whole#step, half#step, and another whole#step, and the latter
constructed of semitones. Linear and mechanical textures pervade the piece,
creating an underlying structure and sense of unity that I feel represents the
similarities between the artisan and composer.
