Duality

"Man is not truly one, but truly two." - from "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson The duality of human nature is a fascinating concept. It has been written and discussed so much by various scholars and philosophers over the years. There are many ways to look at it: Good versus evil, creative versus logical, mind and body, and so forth. In "Duality" we explore the two aspects of "Inner Peace" and "Outer Rage". The states of being have been experienced by us all at once point or another in our lives. And one cannot exist with the other. In this piece I also explore the duality of the state of music. Major and minor, acoustical and electronic, rhythmic and lyrical. The shared motif of this multi-movement work unites it and helps draw parallels between them. The movements can be played in whatever order the group decides it wants to.
