about

Lying in Wait for clarinet, violin, and piano was written in the fall of 2009 as the first piece in my DMA degree at Rice University. The motive that opens the piece is used throughout, not only in motivic transformation but also as a large scale, harmonic scheme in sections. Overall, the piece is created using only a few sets or cells of material that are altered and transformed to allow for “new” material. Though the piece has no programmatic intent, in the process of writing I had been watching many nature documentaries, particularly those about the big cats of Africa and India. Somehow, I thought the piece portrayed the potential energy of these predators at any given moment.
