Winter
• written for String Orchestra; 10’ 00”
( 2024 )
Program Note
Winter is intended to be ambiguous in its “definitive” meaning, comparable to the reduction in visibility experienced when in a thick snowstorm. This work includes theatrical elements, several indications of contrasting timbre, and moments of aleatoricism and intonation outside of Western classical music. What thoughts come to mind as you experience this music?
