about

Chorale: An Economy of Means is a kind of companion piece to my trio An Index of Possibility. In Index I employed a wide range of materials (glass, metal, wood, ceramic, drums, toys, found objects) to create a large form that moved between distinctive worlds within a broad sonic palette. With Economy I used only the vibraphone and forced myself to make the most out of limited resources. With a few simple preparations (tin foil, manilla folder) and judicious usage of the vibraphone’s natural properties, I tried to build something vast and varied, as broad and ambitious as the trio but in a narrower, more focused context. Set in six movements, the nearly 30-minute piece has no specific narrative—but there is always a sense of motion, of drifting from space to space, with little dramas unfolding along the way. An Economy of Means was commissioned by Doug Perkins and a consortium of Alumni of The Center for Advanced Musical Studies at Chosen Vale Percussion Seminar (Enfield, NH), including Kyle Flens. It was premiered there in 2016 by Amy Garapic and is performed by Doug Perkins on An Economy of Means (New Focus, 2018). – R.H.
