Product Description
This ensemble piece was written for a multi-arts program at the New Britain Museum of American Art designed to bring attention to the issue of homelessness. To underscore the uncertainties those experiencing homelessness routinely have to endure, the piece incorporates elements of chance and indeterminacy. This makes each performance truly a one-of-a-kind experience, and a unique addition to contemporary music programs.
Key aspects of the piece are determined by the musicians themselves in real-time during the performance, which can cause the running time of this piece to vary between just a few minutes and, potentially, hours! Intermediate level musicians should be able to tackle this work without difficulty, and more experienced musicians can incorporate additional depth (and technical challenge) by rhythmically offsetting their entry point into the piece (see the performance notes page for further details).
Although scored for flute, oboe, violin, cello and piano, this piece could easily be performed by virtually any grouping of instruments with equal success.
