Duets for a Duo – for winds

Program note: Duets for a Duo is one of my earliest compositions notated for mixed instruments. The music is an interplay of winds through two movements that are meant to convey two emotional reflections, I. Reconsidering; II. Amidst Confusion. I was especially intrigued by the sounds of close intervals, primarily minor or major seconds – between instruments.
Versions for varied wind combinations are available through the score purchase link.

The video is a lovely performance by Aimee Toner and Megan Tracy at the The Muse’s Voice concert, October 31, 2018, Barnard College, NYC.

Check out this concert recording by 2Flutes: Laura Falzon and Pamela Sklar at St. Paul’s Concert series, Columbia University, NYC. And, also their New York Tapestries album.

Confidentially

A brief intimacy of a shared moment in confidence. – RW

Audio is a midi realization for bassoon and cello.

Walking on Wires – wind & strings

Program note
An anxious lament for love lost, borrowing musical inspiration from the plainsong, “Dies Irae.” The emotional context is sadness and futility, which transmutes into edgy feelings of anger. The metaphoric realization that came to mind was that moving on would involve something like walking barefoot across a floor covered with sharp wires. – RW

Both Bassoon & Strings, and Bass Clarinet & Strings versions are available for purchase.
