Three Humanist Hymns

Earplay's performance of "Piano Trio" by Reynold Tharp on 5/19/2014 at ODC Theater, San Francisco as performed by Terrie Baune, Thalia Moore, and Karen Rosenak and recorded by Ian D. Thomas, copyright 2014 by Earplay, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.
				

My Piano Trio was written from December 2013 to March 2014 for Earplay.  As in several other recent pieces of mine, the overall shape or flow of the piece is hopefully clearly articulated within a continuous single movement.  Unlike my other music, however, which typically bears programmatic or poetic titles, in this instance I fell back on a simple generic title.  Nevertheless, the trio still relies on the narrative and dramatic impulses that drive all my music, and evocative or atmospheric qualities (to me, at least) are hardly absent.  In particular, I imagined the slowly changing scales of the opening, with their uneasy rhythmic fluidity, as the slow surging of ocean tides.  These waves return in different incarnations across the fourteen-minute span of the piece, and are also gradually transformed into contrasting ideas--one faster and more rhythmically driven, one playful with its bouncing echoes, and a last one more darkly lyrical.  The trio was premiered by members of Earplay (violinist Terrie Baune, cellist Thalia Moore, and pianist Karen Rosenak) in San Francisco in May 2014.
