Project: A quartet for flute, clarinet, cello and piano. The work is in two movements, with a total duration of approximately fourteen minutes.  Both movements were approximately ninety percent completed during the Camargo Foundation residency.  The first movement is essentially lyrical and dramatic in character, exploring strongly contrasting materials and featuring the flute, clarinet and cello in soloistic roles in different sections of the movement. The second movement is a presto featuring the piano as the main protagonist and deriving its character from asymmetric rhythmic figures based on quintuple subdivisions, as well as from its strongly linear melodic contours.  The world premiere performance is envisioned to take place during the 2001-02 concert season in New York.  Initial planning and conceptual work was done for a percussion quartet, which will include the following instruments: vibraphone, marimba, glockenspiel, crotales, chimes, snare drum, 5 tomtoms, 5 rototoms, 2 congas, 2 timbales, 2 bongos, bass drum, 2 timpani (28" and 32"), 3 wood blocks, 5 temple blocks, castanets, slit drum, 2 claves, 2 maracas, slapstick, rain stick, 3 cymbals (ride, crash and sizzle), 3 triangles, 5 almglocken, 5 tin cans, 2 nipple gongs, 2 tamtams, mark tree, bell tree, glass and wooden wind chimes, spring coil anvil, 2 bell plates and 3 brake drums.
