Crashing Through Fences (2009) \u2013 Timo Andres<\/p>

Instrumentation:<\/p>

  • Piccolo flute<\/li>
  • Glockenspiel<\/li>
  • Two kickdrums<\/li><\/ul>

    Duration: 6 minutes.<\/p>

    Composer\u2019s note:<\/p>

    Crashing Through Fences<\/em> is written for two of the highest-pitched instruments: piccolo and glockenspiel. I was interested in creating a contrast between these innately unfeasible timbres and a long melody, unspooling over a sweet harmonic sequence.<\/p>

    It\u2019s an almost uncomfortably intimate sort of piece\u2014the two instruments interact hesitantly at first, then with increasing boldness. And at opportune moments, they savagely kick each other.<\/p>
