Malkut

This piece is an attempt to combine instruments that have rarely been combined, if at all, especially in chamber music. Much of the melodic and harmonic content is based on Blues scales, as well as chords, grooves, and inflections common to that style, while also drawing heavily on contrapuntal textures, as well as improvisation.

Our name for the month of January is derived from that of the Roman god Janus: the two-faced god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings. I composed this piece in late January, in a simultaneously looking-backward-looking-forward mood.
I had recently written a lot of difficult, high-energy music, and I wanted to step away from that mode and make this violin solo much simpler in style. 

Looking back to my musical beginnings, I devised much of the harmonic material by simply putting my fingers on a violin fingerboard in cool shapes or configurations to see what sound combinations might result—much as I did as a 12-year-old beginning guitarist. 12-year-old metal-head-me also thought that the title track of Metallica's “And Justice For All...” was exactly what ancient Roman music sounded like (36-year-old-me still sort of thinks that), so this piece is a sort of homage to and a reworking or re-imagining of the Metallica song. -D.G.
