Product Description

Coven Trio for Piano, Flute, and Clarinet evokes the mood from the three witches scene at the beginning of Shakespeares play Macbeth. I imagined this would be a musical setting of their meeting. Think...something wicked this way comes....The piece has five connected sections described as: Sultry, Hypnotic, Evocative, Frenzied, and Calm. It opens with the sultry sound of the lowest register of the flute who is joined by the piano and clarinet stating the opening theme. Then the clarinet begins a hypnotic canon that gradually gets faster and faster. The canon morphs into an evocative fanfare culminating with the piano in a frenzied climax and concludes with a calm chorale-like passage. This exciting trio that explores the range and a variety of extended techniques for Piano, Flute, and Clarinet. The extended techniques used in this piece are flutter tonguing, fall-offs (downward pitch bend) for flute and clarinet as well as key pops for flute. Key pops are accomplished by quickly fingering the notes indicated without blowing into the flute. The sound is soft and staccato but does have a pitch. This piece also requires the pianist and clarinetist to strike a metal brace on the piano frame with a medium yarn or cord wrapped marimba mallet whilst the pianist holds the sustain pedal down to produce a percussive effect. I encourage performers to use anything (costumes, lighting, sets, and props) to bring this piece to life beyond the exciting soundscape.
