Precise Sentiments

Note

The unchar­ac­ter­is­ti­cally severe mien of Precise Senti­ments reflects the influ­ence of Stravinsky’s Symphonies of Wind Instru­ments, which I’d been studying and tran­scrib­ing as I began work on the piece. I also thought I might chal­lenge myself to write some­thing which pushed back against the dreamily pastoral asso­ci­a­tions that cling to the flute-viola-harp ensemble. This is borne out in the music’s modular construc­tion, brittle, active textures, and purpose­ful avoid­ance of smooth transitions.
