Detail
Expansions 3 is the third work I have written in which each note is “expanded” by a sequence of other notes, creating a framework of continuous simultaneous and overlapping melodies. A simple harmonic framework is played throughout on the strings. The melodies are introduced in the woodwinds, and in the louder sections, the brass and piano. The work progresses from a soft beginning to a climax, at which time a newer element, faster moving melodies, are introduced. It then recedes and builds to another climax, after which it fades to the texture of the beginning. Expansions was a piece of computer music which has not been orchestrated. Expansions 2 is also for orchestra, but for a larger ensemble including 24 separate string parts.
