Mixed Trio Clarinet, Cello (Bass Clarinet) & Piano

Theresa Martin (b. 1979) is a composer of energetic, melodious, and rhythmically driven music and often draws her inspiration from literature, images, nature, and personal experiences. Fire and Ice was commissioned by Andy and Brittany Hudson for two clarinets. In Martin's words: After reading the Twilight series, I was musically inspired by the star-crossed lovers, Bella and Edward, and the paradox of their unique relationship. Fire and Ice represents, in my mind, the passionate and precarious bond of Bella (warm, delicate, breakable, slow, and clumsy) and Edward (frozen, indestructible, and extraordinarily strong, fast and graceful) and the struggles they must face in their challenging relationship.

Zero Infinity was commissioned in 2005 by Sam Pilafian...Zero and infinity represent powerful adversaries at either end of the realm of numbers that we use in modern science. Yet, zero and infinity are two sides of the same coin --equal and opposite, yin and yang...The piece is in one movement, divided into three sections. Sections one and three are equals in that they both contain rhythmic drive. Second two, however, is the complete opposite of this, being very slow and lyrical. At times, the piece explores the extreme ranges of the tuba, many times stretching the technical limits of conventional tuba writing. The percussion part, which is also very challenging, intensifies the rhythmic energy throughout the piece.

One night at midnight my two year old son woke up and sweetly asked if he could have some peaches. Normally I would have said no, but the idea seemed so absurd and hilarious that I decided to allow him to come downstairs for a midnight snack. I even took a picture to commemorate the event. When sharing the story and picture with friends, the phrase Peaches at Midnight stuck with me and inspired me to write this piece. The form of the piece is a mirror form, in which sections from the beginning return, but in the opposite order in which they first appeared. The beginning and the end suggest awakening and falling back asleep. The middle sections depict the joyful exuberance, creative imagination, energetic playfulness, and abrupt temperament changes of toddlers that make experiencing life with them so unpredictable and wonderful.

Peaches at Midnight

From the composer: "While composing Monstress, several images came to mind for inspiration. The first motives I composed reminded me of a vortex with spinning, turbulent fluid. This led me toward the idea of an imaginary female monster that would perhaps be able to create such a vortex. After giving her personality some consideration, I decided she was to be a fierce, cunning seductress. The enchanted monstress would also be agile, quick tempered, and beautiful, luring her prey with her haunting melodies. While she exists only in my mind, she lives through my music."

Monstress

Clarinet Quartet

The piece has five sections which are introduced individually in the beginning and then return or are juxtaposed simulatenously in the later half of the piece. The inspirations for the music were fallen high-voltage power lines, the fast flow of electricty, alternating and direct currents, escaping sparks of electricty, and dangerous electrical shocks. Live Wire was commisioned by two incredible clarinetists, Bob Spring and Jana Starling, whose energy on stage is always electrifying.

Live Wire

While composing the opening gesture of Gryphon, I envisioned a magnificent creature possessing a magical and seductive aura standing proudly on the cliffs on an ocean. He is wild and quick-tempered, yet he can be surprisingly calm and gentle at times. Gryphon portrays the characteristics I imagine this mythical beast would have. Physically, a gryphon is commonly depicted as having the head, wings and talons of an eagle, the body of a lion, and in some cases, the tail of a snake. According to legends, the gryphon is blessed with the speed, flight, and penetrating vision of the eagle, and the strength, courage and majesty of the lion.

Gryphon

Dark Embers is a bass clarinet duet composed by Theresa Martin and commissioned by Matthew Miracle in 2011. Dark Embers evokes images of smoldering hot, smoky coals which can spark fire at any moment. Fittingly, the character of the music is fast with volatile changes of gestures. The duet lasts approximately 6 minutes and features the two instruments playing melodic lines together and at moments breaking apart.

Character Sketches was commissioned by clarinetist Anne Watson. In writing each movement, I hoped to capture the most entertaining aspects of Ms. Watson's personality. In the first movement, Outspoken, I pictured a conversation developing being the clarinet and piano. The second movement, Passionate, starts with a smooth, lyrical melody in the clarinet with a calm steady accompaniement in the piano. In the middle section of this movement, the clarinet becoems more passionate with its dotted rhythms, and the piano takes on a mocking tone with its minor-second clusters. Movement III, Blue, begins with a slow, bluesy feel and moves into a quicker section with a jazzy bass line in the piano. The last movement, Playful, begins with a bright, cheery, light melody in the clarinet coupled with a fast waltz-like accompaniment that implies mischief.

Soprano Clarinet Solo with Piano

Theresa Martin (b. 1979) is a composer of energetic, melodious, and rhythmically driven music and often draws her inspiration from literature, images, nature, and personal experiences. Autumn Art for clarinet quartet is made-up of four movements. The first movement, Mysterious, was inspired by the shortening of the days and lengthening of the nights during the autumn season. Whimsical, the second movement, is a fugue between the four parts and foreshadows the swirling gestures of the fourth movement. Next is Calm - the opening theme from movement I is now a partitioned line, woven through the four clarinets. The last movement, Agitated, was inspired by the movement of swirling leaves.
