Ecce ensemble. May 5th, 2010.
Tenri Cultural Institute.
Note:
“Stillness and Change is an instrumental meditation on the Glück poem “Island”.
At turns explosively energetic and hauntingly reposeful, it is a score that features
rapidly shifting textures and characterful instrumental roles. Punctilious woodwind
trills and incisive writing for pitched percussion and piano are set against cantabile
string lines in a vibrant colloquy.”
–Christian Carey
