Reflections IV for flute, viola, harp and piano

Abstract

Reflections IV for Flute, Viola, Harp and Piano is a rearrangement of a vocal work, with the viola replacing the voice. Whole tone scales, Byzantine melismas and modal melodies pervade the work. It begins with a whole tone figure, stated by the harp and flute, and ends with a hymn-like section.

Reflections is a series of works written for chamber groups and voice. The music evokes images based on either the composer’s past experiences or the poetry.
