Hallman: short stories for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano (CMS Co-Commission) (New York Premiere)

SOMETHING TO KNOW:

“Each movement’s title is meant to serve as a prompt for listeners, who are called upon to imagine their own ‘story’ inspired by the musical content of the movement and the title,” writes Hallman.

SOMETHING TO LISTEN FOR:

“Simple lyricism, dissonant disorder, a rhythmic propulsion based on unison or near-unison figuration, and a heartbreaking/heartbroken pastiche are examples of a few of the shades utilized to create [a] collage.”

Recorded live in Alice Tully Hall on January 24, 2017.
