Concerto for Piano (2012)

Commissioned by Pamela Mia Paul

Premiere: April 13th, 2012, University of North Texas

Available for performance to all ensembles April, 2012, with Pamela Mia Paul, soloist

In two movements, both based on the same descending 5 dyads. Mvt I opens with a several-minute piano, harp, and vibraphone trio, building slowly while repeating the same descending figure throughout the work. The music then reverses, evaporating away as it began. Mvt. II uses the same material with a nod to Schuman's George Washington Bridge, building bitonal block chords from the original 5 dyads.

Scored for orchestral winds and percussion, the instrumentation fits both symphony orchestras and wind ensembles.
