Knife In Your Neck

This piece was written on AYO National Music Camp 2015 and was performed by the AYO tutors and conducted by James Judd. The work has two movements entitled ­­The Ridge and The Valley. The musical motifs throughout the work reflect the turbulence and tranquility of nature so evident in the appearance of mountains. While the work is not literally programmatic, I experimented with different melodies, rhythms and harmonies that could convey images of mountains and valleys in sound.

Live premier performance.

Malphas is a study of medieval instrumental dance music, particularly of the Italian “Istampitta,” combined with an emphasis on modal dissonance and linear structure. The title refers to Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy’s 1818 Dictionnaire Infernal which details a demon wielding power over castles and architecture, Malphas. Inspired by the structure of medieval arched windows, the piece forms melodic, harmonic, and formal arches throughout, most prominently noted in the opening and closing improvisatory sections. The motivic content of the dance consists of rhythmic emphasis on dissonant intervals, masked slightly by the surrounding modal characteristics and altered string tunings.

This was my first string quartet piece, which began as an assignment for my first composition class at Lehigh. Although I starting writing it my sophomore year of college, I had to wait 3 more years before I ever got to hear it performed.
