Program Notes
“Fringe” (2022), for horn trio, is inspired by the idea of pulling at a loose thread on a piece woven fabric. The music, like fabric, is tightly woven and very compact, but with time, it unravels—being slowly disassembled as the pattern is pulled apart, slipping and snagging on the way, until it dissipates entirely.
“Fringe” received Honorable Mention in the International Horn Society’s 2022 Composition Competition and was subsequently exhibited at the 2023 International Horn Symposium in Montreal.
Notes
The premiere of “Fringe” was during the first New Music Ensemble Concert on July 2, 2022 at 1:00 pm in Parker Concert Hall at the Brevard Music Center during the 2022 Brevard Music Center Summer Composition Institute.
