glimmersongs unfolds in a delicate, dream-like atmosphere, rippling like light reflected on water. From the resonance of the highest range of the piano, the strings emerge like piercing glints of light. From this fused sound, the ensemble begins to crack apart: instruments pass around runs and musical lines in fierce orchestrational games, and a rhythmic, angular music punctuates the ends of phrases. Despite its textural variety, the piece is motivically minimal, using only two tiny musical cells: a sudden crescendo on a sustained note, and a 5-note line that tumbles downwards. From these two cells, the work organically grows from a ghostly, pale outline into a colorful dance. glimmersongs was commissioned by the Society of Composers, Inc. and ASCAP for the Texas New Music Ensemble in Spring 2020.
Performed by Nunc Ensemble, Spring 2020
