program note

Figures in a Landscape (1995) for violin, viola, cello, bass, and piano, is an emotional narrative for the instrumentalists, each of whom has a distinct character. The instruments sometimes shadow and echo each other, creating an evocative resonance; at other times they privately struggle to express themselves – with joy or frustration or, occasionally, humor. Figures in a Landscape is dedicated to violist Betty Hauck.
