Interlocking (2024)

DURATION
2 minutes 30 seconds

INSTRUMENTATION
violin and cello

"Interlocking," a brief yet intricate work created for the Tanglewood Music Center's Piece-A-Day challenge, is composed within 24 hours for violin and cello. It weaves a unique dialogue between the two instruments, where their voices intertwine and shift, like threads of a tapestry coming together to form a seamless whole. The concept of interlocking, in this case, speaks to the way each instrument’s part complements and responds to the other, often in delicate, synchronized patterns that create a harmonious balance of tension and release.
