ACTIONS & RESONANCES

piano
Actions & Resonances is a stand-alone fast movement for piano composed in 2005. The title is abstract, describing the primary characteristics of the work’s sound: sharp, crisp and percussive musical gestures that are occasionally interrupted by gentler, resonant chords, which almost seem like distant echoes. The piece even moves into jazzy territory in its middle section. At its conclusion, its energy dissipates, the forward rhythmic motion dies away and the percussive gestures disappear, replaced by fragments of earlier motives that dissolve into silence.
