EDES (2007) f
or alto flute, clarinet, violin, 'cello,
& piano
The central focus of EDES is the notes the title spells:
E-D-Eb,
which is a musicial representation of the name of the
Russian composer Edison Denisov. The piece was composed for
a competition honoring him. The strings are tuned
scordatura, designed to produce natural harmonics
relating more strongly to E, D, and Eb.
Overall the piece is minimal but lush and full of color.
