Abstract Details

2013, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Composition.
Flowing Ever Outward is an eleven-minute work scored for a large chamber ensemble consisting of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, piano, percussion (two players), two violins, viola, violoncello, and double bass. The harmonic and melodic material is derived from an [012347] hexachord (6-Z36) and its complement [012356] (6-Z3). These two normal sets are used primarily within the piano part, and sequential transpositions of each hexachord are generated and assigned to the various instruments of the ensemble. These pitch collections, to a certain extent, also determine the overall structure of the work--which can be described as something of a ternary arch form (A-B-A')--as well as its internal sectional construction and respective instrumentation. Overall, the work is highly episodic in nature, and contains fragmented melodic figurations which gradually propel the work forward. The interaction between the piano and the ensemble focuses mainly on timbre and gesture, and instruments are combined in such a way as to create more complex aggregate gestures, effectively making the ensemble one large meta-instrument.
