Trio Contra (2000, 2006) Duration: 13' 30" Instrumentation: flute, viola, harp (or piano) Alternate Versions: flute, cello, harp (2007) Availability: from the composer Recordings: n/a Program Notes: This is a re-instrumentation of my 1996 work for double bass and piano Contraforte. The original concept of Contraforte (material that would later become the first dozen measures of the piece) was of a work for flute and harp. However, when the opportunity arose to write a piece for bass and piano I began to look at this material in a new way, and started to develop it for a low register instrument. Four years later, with other projects completed and newer ones not yet underway, the chance to re-orchestrate this material for flute and harp (with the addition of the viola - inspired by the beautiful Dubussy Sonata) had finally presented itself. First Performance: Tenth Symposium of Contemporary Music Festival in Rosario, Argentina (June 25, 2005) with Gabriela Elizburu (flute), Marcelo Ajubita (viola), and Max Lifchitz (piano).
