S2/E2 Promulgation among consenting adults

I have finished engraving the reference score of my new trio. No-one will ever perform from it (each of the three players would have an individual part), and probably very few will ever make “reference” to it as such, but it is vitally important nonetheless. One good thing is that, in the age of music processing, files for the parts are generated from the full score, like the one I completed today. So, much of the work that went into making it look good will carry over into those performing parts.

I am in an unprecedented position owing to this real-time blog. At this point I would usually prepare some program notes for any new composition, while the experience was still fresh. And yet, most or possibly all of what I would want to say about the music and its genesis is likely to be found in the entries below. So I will review them from the beginning and distill what I read into some formal notes. That involves not just concision, but adopting the right tone for readers unfamiliar with me or the better part of my output.

Here is a link to the opus’s public folder. Its name will not change over time, but its contents will (such as the addition of parts). Right now, the score, for those of you who read such, and the promotional audio sample.
