for piano and cello
May 2018
Duration: ~6 minutes
I wrote this piece in a hurry, in the two weeks after I finished my master's program and its premiere. Although that's an uncharacteristically fast turnaround for me, the expedience of the project was incredibly rewarding. Even more rewarding was having it premiered by a world class cellist, Wei Yu.
I named this piece "Coda" because it seemed to be something of a post-script on my graduate school experience; a reflection on things I had learned, ways in which I had grown, mistakes I had made, and victories I had won.
Premiered on May 18, 2018 at Hunt Street Station (Detroit).
This recording is from this piece’s second performance: at New Music Detroit’s annual “Strange Beautiful Music” festival in 2018. Featuring cellist Wesley Hornpetrie.
