Work Overview
This composition is part of an ongoing artistic response to the current climate emergency. It does not seek to evoke or depict a landscape, rather the landscape is an eco-system of musical ideas that emanate from a repeating note in the horn part. Eco-systems are resilient, but are at the mercy of changing conditions (extreme weather events, rising temperatures, introduced species, deforestation and mining, etc.). As the piece progresses, the clarinet, bassoon, and eventually flute begin to attach themselves to the horn's repeating note, creating a cluster of notes that alter the course of the music. The original eco-system of musical ideas persists, wrestling with the change of course, but is ultimately irreversibly changed, finishing with a registral oscillation in the clarinet, horn, and bassoon that eventually collapses into their low-registers.
