Clear, cold light and quiet introspection infuse two moods of existential contemplation on a winter’s day. – RW
Why Is It?

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.
