Wind Quintet #3

A guitar instrumental Inspired by initially a merengue style  Drum loop that I liked from my old drum machine, after creating variations of the loop, the tune quickly expanded in style.

poem / copyright jo richter:

stone is a liquid
that moves far too slowly

if river lethe asked you
would you offer your memories

if the primal river called you
would you go

floating in amniotic liquid
would you pretend to flow like a river

if the only river called you
would you go

((social thanks to YKMS (5ys) for the black-key-pentatonic piao loop and AIS (11ys) for gravel shovelling and toy robot Operation ))

would you go

I listened for your keys at the door
And I waited for your steps upon the floor
I picked up my drawing of cows and barns
Then ran into your coat and your scarf and your arms

You showed me that fear is forbidden
You told me that pain should be hidden
You smacked me, you struck me when I opened my eyes
You taught me that truth hurts more than lies

Oh I, yes I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, you won’t see the tears I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

I hope for a day
A day of diamonds and dreams
I hope you will say
Things are not as they seem
I pray you will take me
Your hand on my cheek
And tell me you love me
And you’re sorry for being so weak
Oh daddy…

I can still smell the green grass you mowed
Every Sunday, cut blades blew across the road
So little was there on show
The roots are still deep and still guide how they grow

Oh I, yes I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, you won’t see the tears that I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

Gonna Be Hard (Live Acoustic)

SECRETS   OF  TREES

Composed for solo clarinet (A), this sonatina is in three movements.

The first movement is an introduction bearing a semblance to a now-shelved sonatina for flute. The piece is balancing act between flowing melodic lines and broken intensity.

The second movement was composed first, in 2022, as a standalone piece. It was revised, and it serves as the coalescence of material of the whole set.

The final movement is dance-like bacchanale, or more so a dithyramb. It was conceived of as a
satyr play, and it is a lively piece that also bears a likeness to a different, shelved work for violin
and piano.
