Composer note
My first work for an unaccompanied melody instrument, I structured this suite in a quasi-Baroque style. Each movement marries intellectual, mathematical constructs with strong emotional expressions, stretching and bending time in different landscapes while re-purposing traditional melodic materials in new ways.
