Instrument Type

Senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to play the bass clarinet in our wind symphonyand fell in love with the instrument. I loved the way it supported the lower harmonies of the woodwinds, often playing with the bassoon; and I loved the way it played with the low brass, belting out melodies underneath the ensemble.

Inspired by the Habanera from Carmen, Tango Para Tres aims to highlight the range and versatility of both the soprano and bass clarinets. The melody is passed from voice to voice often and there are instances of contrapuntal texture to keep it interesting for the listener.

Tango Para Tres

Clarinet Trio

This piece was inspired by the Greek myth of the three Moirai, or the Fates. In the myth, they work together to determine the lives of all living creatures on this earth and beyond; yes, even the gods are subject to their decisions. The sisters are often depicted using thread to represent each one of our paths through life. One of them spinning it, one of them measuring it, and finally one of them cutting it. Each movement is based on the personality and occupation of each of the sisters: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.
