Program Note
Three Abstractions isn’t about any particular abstractions, but there are most certainly three of them. Each one is shorter than that which precedes it, and each makes use of varying melodic, harmonic, and technical abilities of each instrument. Trajectories are assigned to various component parts of the piece to explore registers, dynamics, textures, and densities. This work was originally commissioned by my friend Caitlin Foster.
