Tom Flaherty, cello
Bridges Hall, Claremont, CA
Movements
I. Reflections
II. Refraction
Notes
Visible properties of glass lie on a continuum from transparent to reflective, with various degrees of distortion.
In "Reflections" a simple stepwise motion on one string comes through a twisted mirror as a sort of bugle call in harmonics on the adjacent string.
"Refractions" plays with multiple perspectives of a few simple motives and sonorities.
