PROGRAM NOTE
Recall Coordinator, for flute and vibraphone, begins with a flute line gently accompanied by bowed and struck vibraphone. Over the course of the composition, the vibraphone gradually takes over, dictating the action and ultimately overwhelming the flute. At the close, opening material is repeated literally, but with instrumental roles completely reversed. The work’s title refers to the job-description of the unnamed protagonist in Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club, which follows a similar dramatic arc. Recall Coordinator lasts eight minutes and was commissioned in 2008 by Due East (Erin Lesser, flute; Greg Beyer, vibraphone).
