Shattered Glass

for flute, clarinet in Bb, piano, violin and cello
composed 2003; duration 12 minutes

A field of vibrating energy is set in restless pulsating motion, trying to transcend its boundaries. Massive black walls become the target of incessant attacks. When a wall is penetrated, other walls appear, and in this process the energy field is transformed from transparent filigrees to dense structures of jagged rhythms. A further transformation takes place when massive chords in the piano take over the forward pulsating motion, driving out the other instruments and descending to the lowest register. When this barrier has been reached, the ensemble is reunited in final eruptions of energy.
