Love Like Windnoise

E-flat Clarinet, 3 Clarinets, Bass Clarinet and Contralto Clarinet

From the composer:

Love Like Windnoise is loosely inspired by select Morton Feldman compositions, featuring minimalistic and repetitive tendencies. The title is a literary reference to a novel that deals with seeking silence, wholeness, and the nature of truth, especially as it is applied to relationships. The piece is designed to alternate between silence and tension, using dissonance and polyrhythm to create that juxtaposition. It’s structure is based on a circadian progression–starting at dawn, then growing warmer and more active, then finally returning to nighttime, except now bearing the feeling of fulfillment and internal peace.
