The notion of writing a piece based on the findings of an Austrian mathematician who observed the increase and decrease in the pitch of sound when the source and observer are getting closer or further apart came to me while traveling through Italy and hearing the myriad sirens passing by through the dense traffic. The motif descends by a minor second returning to the original harmony combined with the repeated minor seconds portraying the incessant sounds of car horns. The melodic lines portray the vibrancy and sensuality of the people in contrast to the craziness around them.
This version of Doppler Effect was adapted for two wonderful flute, 'cello and harp trios: Trio Carisma (Anna Stoddart, flute, Janice Preece, harp, Louise King, 'cello) in Brisbane, Australia and Trio Calisto (Linda Chatterton, Flute, Sally Gibson Dorer, Cello , and Min Kim, Harp) in Minnesota. Carisma has recorded Doppler Effect on their beautiful new CD on ABC Classics titled Lily's Eyes.
