RESOLUTIONS: Suite for Brass Trio is an exploration of different brass instruments interacting with each other. In this case, these are arguments trying to be resolved. The first movement “Agreeing to Disagree” is a full-blown fight where each instrument is yelling at each other and interrupting one another. This is shown through rhythmic dissonance and in a lot of misaligned counterpoints. Eventually, the feud stops, but nothing has been resolved. The second movement “Repeated Assumptions” reflects how certain individuals view another. The piece has a duet collectively accompanying a solo voice. The two components never really align, and each voice never connects.

The third movement “A Collective Prayer” attempts to find commonality in one another. While the rhythms are aligned, the harmonies never truly settled between the voices. The final movement “Growing Empathy” is progress in seeing points of view. This is represented with an accelerating rhythmic figure, resembling a 'tango'. Eventually, the performers continue their feud in a final 'Squabble' as the finale.

When the tension is held, it becomes more unstable.\n\nWhen we exhale, our body quickly releases the tension and simply lets the air flow out. This creates a soothing state of mind. When put to the extreme however, our body begins to compress the air and create more tension.\n\nThis is represented physically in the piece with the single extended tone resonating for a long period of time, representing holding a breathe. Same with the idea of compression at Measure 80 with the increase of tension inward.\n\nThe piece takes these two ideas of inhale and exhale and combines them to make a concrete message of tension and release. This ideas builds with the ideas from the calm and relaxing beginning to the tense climatic point areas at m.70.

There is not a human or living creature in sight. The atmosphere is thick and makes your body weighted. You trudge as though you are walking underwater. The city itself is made up of large skyscrapers of fog and smoke. The only sound echoes a haunting moan that almost sighs of pain. You cannot point to where the sound is coming from, but you feel the impact of the sound more as you walk deeper.\n\nEventually, this moan subsides for a light. The light shines faintly through the dark atmosphere. However, it adds definition to the fog and smoke. The structures are sharpened and the city becomes more recognizable as you go closer to the source. As you look around in a new light, you realize you've been in this city before.\n\nAs the light brightens, memories surface of past experiences. There were times of loving joy. These moments are the most heartfelt. It almost makes you forget about the gloom of the city. However, there is that one tragic memory originating at the light source. The memory is not foggy, but vivid and overwhelming. The haunting moan returns louder and screaming of pain. Turning away from the light brings enlightenment to all the memories. Everything leads to one person.\n\nOne person who has been forgotten not because of neglect, but out of the paralyzing reminder of the present situation. For this, the city is abandoned and not many people visit. However, the city of fog exists for those who need reminders of what is truly important.

While the dial seems to inch its ways around a circle, there are many different gears under the hood that all varying in size. These gears cycle around and because of their size, they turn back their original axis at different times. Taking this element of rotation and phasing, ClockWork takes a similar approach with the gears with both phrasing and rhythm. One of the great composers who has perfected this technique of layering different rhythms on top of each other was Igor Stravinsky. ClockWork's main inspiration comes from one of Stravinsky's greatest works, The Rite of Spring. It translates the language and compositional technique for a trumpet octet.

This applies to the texture as well, which becomes thinner and more ambient. However, the piece hits a drastic shift after the oboe cadenza. Once the ink is fully smoothed in the water, it simply floats, gently dancing with the currents. After that, another ink is shot into the water, but this time not in slow motion.

This truth reverberates throughout the composition, manifested by the intense, foreboding call and response of the distress among the ensemble's members. The second movement, Voyage, depicts the epic clash between the formidable world serpent, Jörmungandr, and Thor Odinson. This battle was the finale of Ragnarök, giving the end of the nine realms. Enveloping the vast expanse of the world, the colossal serpent gave rise to an epic confrontation of unparalleled magnitude, ripping the world apart. Although Thor delivered the final, fatal blow, he was not spared from the serpent's retaliation.

The illusionists present four solid silver rings, linking and unlinking them through a series of very fluid movements, simultaneously at opposite sides of the stage. This interpretation of The Linking Rings involves a narrator telling a story—via a poem—as he witnesses this act for the first time. A brass quartet plays, echoing the narrator’s curiosity and discovery while also acting as accompaniment for the illusion. The illusion, music, and narration are all extensions of each other--or \"linked\", providing a unique opportunity to use illusionary/magic as an artistic storytelling device. The four brass instruments also symbolize for four brass rings. We hope that the audience leaves with the desire to fulfill a sense of curiosity and discovery, while aiming to simply enjoy the moment and take in their environment.","performanceNotes":"-This piece is designed to be performed with and without narration.

Performers should also keep the rhythm momentum lively by not slowing down the tempo of the work as time goes on. \n\n- Articulations are given to help execute the right style for each section. Follow the directions to help propel the music forward. \n\n- Dynamics are given to show intended effects. However, performers do not need to stretch their dynamics, in particular in the higher decibels. The orchestration and harmonies create louder sounds for the performers.\n\n- Staccatos in this work determine the style of the point of attack, rather than the length of the note. Be sure that staccatos still have length to help propel momentum.\n\n- Ossias are given to help performers execute difficult sections in need be.","programNotesHtml":"

RESOLUTIONS: Suite for Brass Trio is an exploration of different brass instruments interacting with each other. In this case, these are arguments trying to be resolved. The first movement “Agreeing to Disagree” is a full-blown fight where each instrument is yelling at each other and interrupting one another. This is shown through rhythmic dissonance and in a lot of misaligned counterpoints. Eventually, the feud stops, but nothing has been resolved. The second movement “Repeated Assumptions” reflects how certain individuals view another. The piece has a duet collectively accompanying a solo voice. The two components never really align, and each voice never connects.

The third movement “A Collective Prayer” attempts to find commonality in one another. While the rhythms are aligned, the harmonies never truly settled between the voices. The final movement “Growing Empathy” is progress in seeing points of view. This is represented with an accelerating rhythmic figure, resembling a 'tango'. Eventually, the performers continue their feud in a final 'Squabble' as the finale.
