Abstract Details

2007, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Composition.
Senseflash is organized into four distinct movements. The first movement, Introduction, begins with a melodic gesture – a nine-note pitch-class set (9-3[012345689]) – that provides the basis from which the piece’s material is derived. Introduction contains themes and textures that recur in the other three movements. The character of the second movement, Scherzo nervioso, is denoted by its title. “Nervous” minor-second grace-note figures, an insistently recurring B7, and rapid ostinati conspire to give the movement a humorous, slightly neurotic quality. The third movement, Exposition-Chorale-Contraction, is organized in three distinct parts: the opening and closing sections are based on fixed-register redistributions of the original motive’s nine notes over several octaves – the closing section consists of a retrograde inversion of the opening section’s pitch material. The central section is an instrumental chorale, placed against a solo piano melody. The fourth movement, Finale, is fast and aggressive in character – its harmonic vocabulary is in large part derived from the main motive’s complementary pitch-class set 3-3[014]. An insistent 16th-note pedal-point underlies much of the movement, which nonetheless concludes with an aleatoric texture that recasts previously used material.
