From the Publisher
In this two-movement duet, I enjoyed pushing the sounds of these two lovely instruments around in space: echoing, reverberating, copying, chasing, dancing. Essentially I wanted their relationship to be on display as we follow their dialogue through interesting seasons, moods, and textures. I hope you enjoy their conversation!
