Portraits for Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Violoncello, and Piano
Composers:- Adolphe, Bruce
Duration: 25
Description:
Bruce Adolphe wrote of this piece, “Scored for the Da Capo Chamber Players (flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano), PORTRAITS is a series of tributes to the memories of musicians who were close to me, as well as to the players of Da Capo. The portraits are of: Nicholas Maw; Milton Babbitt; David Golub; George Perle; Laura Flax. For the composers, I incorporated aspects of their musical personalities into their tributes; for the tribute to pianist David Golub, I created a portrait based on a Schubert impromptu that he frequently played as an encore; for the clarinetist Laura Flax, who was a longtime member of Da Capo, I composed a movement in which the clarinet is the soloist, in an intimate meditation that brings the entire work to a close. This is a deeply personal project, but one that I hope will speak to the larger musical community, many of whom who knew and loved these musicians.”
