Komorebi for Violin & Vibraphone
Wondrous and seemingly weightless, Komorebi flickers into life with sustained violin harmonics mixing with the glow of the vibraphoneÂ's repeated three-note figure that gently pushes the piece along. Fragments of melody gradually emerge for the violin as it takes over the vibraphoneÂ's rhythmic figure, now given nuance through evolving articulations and meter. However, it is the violinÂ's soaring, patiently held material that dominates the first half of the piece, punctuated with aching glissandi descents. Komorebi eventually breaks free from its soft pulse to wander through a dream-like senza misura passage. Sonorities intermingle as the vibraphoneÂ's elastic, rolling gestures and bowed keys converse with the violinÂ's harmonic tremolos and delicately expressive statements. Komorebi is an untranslatable Japanese word describing the sunlight that filters through the trees.
