Score
(Philadelphia) sky sketch : for two trios / Chris Williams.
Library shelf no. 785.816/WIL 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Musical clouds configure and reconfirgure themselves. The sextet,
divided into two trios, plays through specific musical material,
but is allowed certain freedoms in rhythm and coordination. I
imagine the rich monochrome space above a broad skyline, never
the same, but always the same.
(Philadelphia) sky sketch was written for 'The Brass
Project', a newly formed sextet from the Curtis Institute of
Music, who invited thirty composers to contribute pieces to their
inaugural performance and recording projects.
