Moments Like Water (2020)
for solo harp
PREVIEW / PURCHASE
PROGRAM NOTE
Moments Like Water, for harp, was commissioned in 2020 by harpist Katie Buckley, with additional support provided by Western Illinois University, Petrified Forest National Park, and Copland House. As the work unfolds over a span of 20 minutes, a collection of three pitches gradually increases by one, two, and then three additional pitches until it becomes a group of six. At its mid-point the work reverses course, and the three "new" pitches slowly dissipate. The rhythm is informed by a three-strand polyrhythm of 9:10:11.
