Trio for Flute, Cello, and Piano

flute, cello, and piano
2008
duration 10’00”


Trio for Flute, Cello, and Piano, unlike much of my music, is not meant to evoke any particular images or ideas.   Instead, my aim was simply to explore the unique sounds of each instrument and various ways of combining those sounds.   The music moves between sections in which the ensemble is treated as one multi-faceted instrument, fusing the three distinct timbres and characters of each individual voice into composite gestures and textures, and those in which the flute and cello take on more soloistic roles.  While the trio is not meant to be about anything in particular, it is intended to be very dramatic, so please let your imagination take you where it may!  

Trio for Flute, Cello, and Piano was composed for the Noul Trio and premiered by the Empyrean Ensemble in March 2009.
