"Catch the Glow Through"
for clarinet and piano (2012), 8'
final edition premiered in Austin, TX by Pam Wilkinson, clarinet
One of the many images that inspires me as a composer is light and its relationship to objects it passes through, whether it be water, windows, etc. For this work, inspiration is drawn from stained glass. Through my search for specific visual inspiration, I stumbled upon a beautifully evocative poem that struck me and served as a guide for not only the tone of the work, but also the structure.
