This commissioning project by NYC-based quintet "The Colonials" resulted in an expansion of a masterpiece in chamber music repertoire. Six imaginative new variations are interwoven within Franz Schubert's final movement of his Quintet in A major, D. 667 "Die Forelle,"  thanks to composers Molly Joyce, Gity Razaz, Brad Balliett, Lembit Beecher, Jonathan Dawe, and Paul Epstein. The result is a genuine conversation between the 19th and 21st centuries, a songful experiment that captures the voices of some of our favorite living composers in direct dialogue with one of of our favorites from the past.

Conjuring up images of opera scenes, the Lalliet Trio (Terzetto) is a delightful romp between two characters (the oboe and bassoon). The incredible woodwind playing is by Pedro Diaz (English hornist at Met Opera Orchestra and faculty at Stony Brook University) Frank Morelli (bassoonist of Orpheus and faculty at Stony Brook University, Juilliard, Yale, Manhattan School of Music, and Glenn Gould School).
