Echoes in the Dark is a sextet composed between late 2011 and early 2012 in Normal, Illinois. It is a very lyrical work, featuring a long, stretched out diatonic melody characterized by frequent, and very large leaps, often more than an octave. This melody is first presented in the strings in the opening passage, and returns, somewhat disguised, in the winds towards the ending.
While there is no specific story to the piece, the title is reflective of the work's overall nocturne and resonant character. I invite you to experience it in your own way and hope you enjoy. |
