PROGRAM NOTE
Moon Trio is the sister piece for another trio I wrote called Sun Trio. Each of the four movements is inspired by the moon. The first movement, Moonbeams, consists of bright, cascading arpeggios that interact and overlap, creating playful rhythmic interactions between the three instruments. The second movement, Three Lunatics, is a highly rhythmic, mixed-meter scherzo that capitalizes on extreme ranges and timbral effects. The third movement, Blue Moon, is slow, hazy and dreamlike, and is built on long held chords and lush melodies in the violin and cello. The last movement, Moon Trip, is like taking a trip on a rocket ship. It begins explosively, contains an etherial middle section, and ends solidly as the trio finally lands on solid ground. Moon Trio was commissioned by the Claremont Trio and Rick Teller. – RP

Floraison
 
Morne saison
nulle floraison
aucun chant
aucun son
 
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
(je) cueille des fleurs (je) cueille des fleurs
fraîches
fraîches
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
sur ce lit de mousse mon cœur
recompose-toi (recompose-moi)
 
Je te serre
Tu me serres
Je te cueille
Tu me cueilles
Je t'effleure
Tu m'effleures
Rêche
 
Ce sursaut épouse tes peurs
surexpose-toi
Ce sursaut épouse mes peurs
surexpose-moi
 
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
dans mon (ton) cercueil tant de fleurs
sèches
sèches
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
sur ce lit s'émousse mon (ton) corps
décompose-moi (décompose-toi)
 
Morte raison
nulle oraison
juste un chant
juste un son
 
--------------
 
Flowering
 
Dismal season
no flowering
no singing
no sound
 
In the greenhouse
all blossoming
I/you gather fresh, fresh flowers
In the greenhouse
I/you gather fresh, fresh flowers
on this bed of moss my sweetheart
recompose yourself/myself
 
I hold you, you hold me
I pick you/you pick me
I touch you/ you touch me
harsh
 
This start mirrors your fears
overexposes you
This start mirrors my fears
overexposes me
 
In the greenhouse picking fresh, fresh flowers
this foam bed my sweetheart
recompose yourself/myself
In the greenhouse all in bloom
In my/your coffin so many dry, dry flowers
In the greenhouse
all is blossoming
on this bed my body wilts
 
Dead reason
hopeless prayer
just a song
just a sound

PROGRAM NOTE
My original inspiration for Embracing the Wind was the image of an Olympic athlete running against the wind. The process of writing this work eventually shifted me to more abstract thoughts, such as the concept of creating music that sounds flexible and has wind-like, ebb-and-flow qualities. I try to achieve this by creating musical zephyrs from repeated motives and smooth phrases that utilize gradual dynamic swells and subtle tempo fluctuations. In this sense, Embracing the Wind is perhaps more minimal and Romantic than many of my other pieces: minimal in that cells that are repeated over and over again as textural background, Romantic in that the form is intentionally less severe and also has a narrative, structural quality.
