Quidnet Shadows - Noten für Duett für Flügelhorn + Harfe Carson Cooman

Quidnet Shadows (2009) for flugelhorn and harp is dedicated to Chris Gekker.
The title refers to Quidnet, a region of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. This work is one of a
variety of pieces deeply connected to the landscape of Nantucket. Specifically, it is music inspired
by beach shadows cast in evening light. A ritornello opens the piece and returns twice. In
between these ritornelli are two mobiles, in which the music of the ritornello is developed in a
freely, shadowing discourse between the two instruments.
