Libra by Section

Composition for Pierrot Ensmble + Percussion, commissioned by Synchromy for “Tierkreis L.A.” concert, 2022. 

“Libra by Section” is rooted in two musical ideas: the sections of the form follow the measure bars that Stockhausen wrote into his original melody, and a melodic framework containing characteristic ascending and descending motives dictates the development of lines. In these ways, “Libra by Section” pays homage to process composition, albeit, without using the same processes as the original.
