Encounters: Chamber Piece for Eight Players
Encounters: Chamber Piece for Eight Players is a three-movement composition that was conceived as a dance piece. Though it features only eight instrumentalists, the wide range of timbres present in the ensemble creates a dramatic and theatrical effect suitable for a dance setting. The piece also functions effectively without dance. Each of the three movements' subtitles – Entrance, Apparition, and Junction – is an action that describes the musical material as it unfolds. Entrance is an introductory movement that sets the tone for the piece, filled with a variety of musical styles and moods. Apparition is a slower, contrasting movement whereby a smaller core of musical material comes to the fore. Finally, Junction is a fast, coda-like movement that serves to synthesize elements of the first two movements with new material.
