Although the differences between the two are clear, I was more interested in their common traits, which I wished to exploit as much as possible. My first thought turned to their ability to play non-tempered pitches and the relative ease with which they can perform glissandi. Throughout the piece, the identities of the two are interwoven and juxtaposed.<br>Ficta was written for the Folk Re-Imagined project undertaken by trombonist Steven Parker and violinist Molly Emerman, which sought to discover new connections between modern art music and folk music from various sources. In lieu of a found source, I attempted to construct folk music from an imaginary culture &#8211; cryptomusicology, if you will. The opening is a setting of an imagined vocal lamentation, while the second section is clearly a dance tune. The listener is free to fill in any details on the imagined culture presented, but please don\u2019t touch the artifacts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ficta for violin and trombone 2011 commissioned by Steven Parker and Molly Emerman \/\/ premiered December 8, 2010 &#8211; Tatui, Brazilduration: 7 minutes http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/media\/ficta1.mp3 Purchase PDF Score\/Parts $20.00 USDBound Score\/Parts $40.00 USD Name Delivery Address (email\/ship) Program Notes: The unlikely <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/?page_id=269\"><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-269","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/269","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=269"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649,"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/269\/revisions\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/piercegradone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
