Still Life With Avalanche by Missy Mazzoli -We love this piece for its beautiful imagery and unique instrumentation: flute, clarinet, violin, cello, percussion, piano, and a surprise you'll have to come see for yourself! Composed in 2008, this piece was commissioned by another awesome contemporary chamber group called Eighth Blackbird. Missy said she was dealing with the emotional turmoil of the sudden death of her cousin while she was away at a composers retreat in Upstate New York. "There's a moment in this piece when you can hear that phone call, when the piece changes direction, when the shock of real life works its way into the music's joyful and exuberant exterior. This is a piece about finding beauty in chaos, and vice versa. It is dedicated to the memory (the joyful, the exuberant and the shocking) of Andrew Rose." -Missy Mazzoli. | | |
