The 2nd Part of the Sympho-Suite MASTER AND MARGARITA for two solo violins, piano, youth choir, orchestra and actors.
A distinctive feature of this part is that Contemporary Classical Music is organically combined and intertwined with Jazz, as well as with Sacred Music, which is dictated by the action of the Bulgakov's novel.

I. Light and precise
II. Shock, then patient and quiet (attacca), in memoriam C.G.L.

"T120" is cast in two movements. The first is inspired by the experience of travel, sometimes at high speeds, through varied terrains, surfaces, and weather conditions. When conditions are right, I experience exhilaration, lightness of spirit, and indescribable well-being. The music is an intricate lacework of rhythmic drones, patterned accents, and, eventually, melodic phrases that grow out of a rhythmic pattern that runs throughout the piece. The music is anchored by an ostinato played at the outset by the violin that repeats every eleven beats, an asymmetrical phrase length that gently toys with our expectations. The asymmetry is amplified at first: downbeats are de-emphasized, accents appear seemingly at random (though they are all strictly patterned), and other rhythmic figures are superimposed in ways that disguise clear points of reference. This texture unfolds quietly and delicately, purposeful but unsettled. Later, the music becomes more grounded. The rhythmic patterns are embedded in shimmering piano figuration while the violin and cello explore their newfound melodic and rhythmic freedom, leading to an improvisatory violin solo complemented by jazzy piano comping. The cello then takes its turn, offering singing melodies that gradually intensify until all three instruments dive into exuberant music that comprises the long-awaited destination. 

The second movement was not part of my original plan, but it came to me quickly and to me felt like a necessary counterbalance to the calculated design of the first movement. This movement is a meditation on a series of personal losses. An excerpt from a review by A.O. Scott of the film The Irishman captures the feeling beautifully:
"... but part of a deeper, sadder lesson that has to do with the inevitability of loss. The loss of life, yes, but also the erosion of meaning that accompanies the fading of experience into memory and memory into nothing."

Swallow - 1

A marvelous performance of "Cadences" by Scott Lindroth with a prelude drawn from Richard Powers' book "Orfeo," read by the author.  The musicians are Jesse Mills (vln), Laura Gilbert (fl), Ben Fingland (cl), Raman Ramakrishnan (vc), Jonathan Bagg (vla), and Rieko Aizawa (pno).   The performance took place in Baldwin Auditorium at Duke University on Sept. 25, 2016.

Much of the music is based on speech rhythms derived from the text in "Orfeo."  These are subjected to permutations and other variations to create new utterances as the piece unfolds. 

A video of the performance on September 25, 2016 with Richard Powers reading can be seen here:
