Palisades Suite (A Trio for Our Time) for Flute, Clarinet and Piano

From the Publisher

Palisades Suite was written in 2007 for the Palisades Virtuosi. Ewazen originally started to compose this work as a four movement description of the seasons: however, the work came to describe the journey through the seasons of life. The composers own descriptions of the movements follow: “Of beauty…where melodies excitingly sparkle with life and energy and the wonder of life is a joy to behold, as the instruments playfully toss those melodies throughout the ensemble as they skip and leap” “Of Anguish…. where sorrow shifts abruptly to anguished, dramatic cries to the Heavens--as the ensemble tosses the melodies around now with intense passion, anger and desperation. Cascades of emotion erupt as if a sudden storm has engulfed our world…” “Of hope… where feelings of hope, renewal, rebirth are felt as the lines become purely lyrical, soft, gentle and caressing, as the piano supplies a buoyant support--life endures--the world endures--we go on in this wondrous journey with hope, resolution...and a heartfelt peace. “
