CONCERT PROGRAM

Urban Impressions is a unique concert event that will feature music composed especially for Urban Nocturnes by Arizona-based composer, Glenn Stallcop.  Episodes is a trio for violin, cello, and piano that examines the emotional ups and downs of campaigning for social issues.  Alt Shift, a sextet for flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and piano, explores a number of different alternative lifestyles in the search for meaning and purpose.  Also on the program is Nuance de Noir  for flute/alto flute, tenor saxophone (or bass clarinet), viola, and double bass.  Commissioned by the Telluride Chamber Music Association in the Spring of 2022, Nuance de Noir’s unusual instrumentation triggered a comparison of modern stresses to the nuclear shadow which triggered the “Noir” period in cinema during the 50s and 60s.  

The concert is co-sponsored by the American Composers Alliance (New York).

        “The Unreal dwelling”

         

        The morning that I received the call from Steven Moeckel asking me to write a piece for unaccompanied violin, I had been reading from a collection of literary prose by Matsuo Basho, the famous Japanese haiku poet.  We were in the midst of the long shutdown for the Covid-19 pandemic.  Musicians were not working; whole symphony seasons had been cancelled.  We discussed the artistic (let alone financial) crisis the situation was creating.  He talked of having taken a trip to the Oregon coast and taken long walks through misty forests to facilitate some serious artistic soul searching.  He had formulated a plan for an unaccompanied recording and wanted to commission a new work for it.  The album, Sei Solo Looking Within, was released in June of 2020.
