In Transitive Motion

After I wrote "The Search", I was asked by an associate to write a couple more pieces for the same instrumentation.  The result was a set with 3 pieces: "The Search", "The Sighting", "The Encounter".  There's no program behind the works, so let your imagination run wild.

The Encounter

Premiered by Steph Dressler (flute) and Rocío Díaz de Cossío (cello) on November 20, 2019

Keening is the Irish practice of vocal lament at a funeral or wake. Caoineadh was written in close collaboration with Stephanie and Rocío. It explores a few of the many faces of grief.
