CHAMBERWORKS:
Three world premieres for WORKS with Chamber Orchestra
Michael McGinnis - clarinet, bass clarinet
Sara Schoenbeck - bassoon
David Smith - trumpet
Tim McCarthy - french horn
Mazz Swift - violin
Tanya Kalmanovitch - viola
Marika Hughes - cello
Michel Gentile - flute
Daniel Kelly - piano
Rob Garcia - drums
Needless to say, I’m thrilled about my composition, Inner Landscapes, which breaks a lot of new ground for me:
1 - This piece is highly influenced by classical music. Members of the group call one of the movements, “the Mahler piece,” if that’s any indication.
2 - I don’t play a single note of piano!!! Rather, I’ll be conducting the orchestra(?!)
3 - It’s a multi-movement work about 50 minutes in duration.
4 - None of it sounds remotely like “jazz”.
5 - A couple of the movements are influenced by my two-year stint as the pianist for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the dynamic post-minimalist chamber group.
6 - I feel that this piece contains some of the most beautiful music that I’ve ever written.
7 - It’s the largest group I’ve ever orchestrated for: Violin, Viola, Cello, Flute, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet and Drums.
