Program Note: |
meditation for solo clarinet was inspired by and is based on the music of the shakuhachi. The piece attempts to recreate, with the Western clarinet, the timbre and gestures characteristic of the Eastern bamboo flute, largely through the employment of techniques such as multiphonics, microtonal inflection, and various metric effects.
