Mirror, Floating on Water

$60.00

A meditation on reflection. Mirrors and water both return an image, and the title sits at that overlap, physically impossible but conceptually precise. The instrumentation replaces the standard brass book with four flugelhorns and a full trombone section, giving the ensemble a softer, more diffused sound that suits the material. Flutes and clarinets carry most of the melodic weight in the upper register. The piece moves slowly and deliberately, with long arching lines and a harmonic language that hovers without quite resolving.
