| comments: |
"Aeolian Muses" was commissioned by Trío Neos in 1993 with a grant from Fideicomiso para la Cultura Mexico/USA. | |
| composer's notes: | The work is divided into two large sections. The first section is 'allegro' with a lyrical duet between the clarinet and bassoon, accompanied by rhythmic motives in the piano. This section is preceded by a slow introduction which presents material that will also be used to link the two larger sections. The second section is 'presto' with a repeated note figure in the piano, and staccato motives in the clarinet and bassoon. — N.G. | |
| press bytes: | Galbraith's "Aeolian Muses" is an attractive piece, opening with lonely interweaving woodwind melodies over the piano's modal – aeolian, one assumes – block chords, and proceeding through increasingly active dance-like sections to a kind of delirious burlesque conclusion.
