As its title implies, the piece is inherently unstable in its expression of these two poles; and the opening movement, <em>Two-Faced<\/em>, illustrates this dichotomy with its rapid fluctuation from contrapuntal complexity to playful transparency. The inner two movements widen their scope, as <em>Aria<\/em> and <em>Vamp <\/em>expand upon their respective sides of the dialectic. Beyond a certain affective schizophrenia, the title simultaneously alludes to the gradual emergence of unencumbered melody over the course of the four movements, most clearly heard in the final movement, <em>Serenata<\/em>. In this movement the material of the previous three movements is transformed into a of long, elegiac melody, but not without its own playful interruptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hearing Voices for clarinet, violin, cello and piano 2011 for the University of Texas New Music Ensembleduration: 25 minutes\u00a0 Program Note Hearing Voices, written for the University of Texas New Music Ensemble, explores a serious\/playful dialectic that I\u2019ve explored in <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/?page_id=265\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-265","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=265"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1074,"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/265\/revisions\/1074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
