Description
This work is a First Prize Winner in the Lowell Chamber Orchestra of Massachusetts 2023 call for scores.
These three musical images were inspired by the New England autumn countryside. To create a context for hearing the music, I fashioned a haiku with particular suggestive imagery. The title for each of the three movements is a line from the haiku:
movement 1. (largo) . . . . Fall leaves, dawn unfolds
movement 2. (andante) . . Wings resound as flocks take flight
movement 3. (allegro) . . . Leaves like confetti
This work features the piano as a solo instrument. However, unlike a traditional concerto, the piano and the chamber string orchestra with the harp function like complimentary palettes of sound color. Together they render a sonic painting that unfolds in the patterned musical gestures, shifting rhythms, and vague implied melodic fragments that evolve into fuller themes. – M. M. S.
