Face To Face

An accompanied clarinet trio which begins with a flowing motif setting up a sense of serenity. The first statement allows all three of the clarinets to intertwine for a constant, gentle movement- this action is a common denominator throughout the piece. A modulation takes place where the pitch is elevated, but also the rhythms more intense as the piece becomes more fluid even as the three solo lines are unaccompanied. The final statement is strong, bold and resolved.
