Duration: ca. 7'25"
Instrumentation: Oboe, Clarinet, Basson
Program Note:
"Eugene" was born from reactions. This year I was introduced to the composer Eugene Bozza and his piece "Suite Breve en Trio." I became completely obsessed with this trio and these moments of call and response within it that seem to ominously spiral and trail off before somehow finding their way back to a humorous or grounded place. I latched on to this idea and a couple of brief quotes from his trio and used them as the building blocks for my piece creating a new road map outlining the narrative of my newfound Eugene Bozza obsession.
Premiered at the 2017 Fresh Inc Festival by the Phoenix Down Trio
