Program Notes

PARAPHRASE is a work for viola, bass clarinet, and piano in three movements. Each movement presents a five- minute piece of music with its own unique character and mood, with inter-connected themes. Each has at least one paraphrase that evolves and expands beyond the original source – one passage from Liszt, one from a 90’s sludge-core band called Noothgrush, two passages from previous works of mine, and a perceived paraphrase, as in, music that I believe was channeled from somewhere else. The ensemble should play with the audacity of a rock band, with a lot of space for expression.
