China Blue

for medium voice and two clarinets (2005), 3′
text in English by Lloyd Van Brunt

Performed at Indiana University, Oct. 2007.

Program note:

The clarinets are the waves; the voice, the clouds floating above. Dissonance creeps in to accompany the somewhat unsettling image of the wasps. The piece never reaches a definitive conclusion. Rather, it ends in a mood of quiet expectation, a state of becoming.
