Still not composing.
/But at least I have enough brains still going that I was able to submit an old piece to a competition. Since the competition insists that submissions be anonymous, I won’t name it, and in fact I had to go back and conceal my name on the scores before I uploaded them.
Getting Through Getting Over (2018) (a ballet score, for piano, clarinet, violin, and cello; based on the Cello Sonata, with additional material; premiered by Southern Arc Dance, Mar 17, 2018)
I. Up Against the Wall | score [pdf] | mp3
II. Perpetuum Mobile | score [pdf] | mp3
III. For Two | score [pdf] | mp3
IV. Gravity | score [pdf] | mp3
Altogether cromulent, I think. “Gravity” is my least favorite of the movements, although that final grinding chord still gives me the willies. The lyricism of “Flow” is still amazing, especially coming after that heart-clenching ending of “Gravity.” And if you are a virtuoso clarinettist, I would encourage you to give “Perpetuum Mobile” a look.
