March Salon previews

Sean Osborn “The Setzer/Ziefel Duo commissioned me to write a duet for two bass clarinets that would showcase their full four-octave range and wide palette of sounds available from this extremely versatile instrument. Four Moods fully explores extreme emotions through expression with an astonishing array of dynamics and colors.” osbornmusic.com Nicole Truesdell “I will be presenting two pieces for piano and toy piano duo: Western States Pictorial and Crossing Parallel Lines . Both compositions draw on imagery and narrative to take the listener on a sonic journey. I find that the toy piano and piano look interesting together on a stage and I really enjoy the way they sound in ensemble. Crossing Parallel Lines will be premiered at the March salon.” nicoletruesdell.com Jeremiah Lawson “The prelude and fugue in F-sharp Major for solo guitar are fairly short. The tone of the pieces and the key were inspired by Olivier Messiaen's Vingt regards sur l'enfant-Jésus
