Violin, Violoncello, and Piano (Score - for the Parts, see EP67299A).
I based this work on paintings from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The movements, played without pause, are in about the same order as the paintings in the museum, which is to say they are in chronoligical order. I also grouped them in pairs, showing opposite views of a subject: I & II: sleepless, versus tranquil nights; III & IV: droll, versus horrid clowns; V & VI: rigid, versus fluid time -- A three-note motive of descending semitones runs through the piece. (Matthew Harris) -- The movements are -- Van Gogh: Starry Night (Canto) - Rousseau: Sleeping Gypsy (Berceuse) - Picasso: Harlequin (Caprice) - Ensor: Masks Confronting Death (Dirge) - Matisse: The Piano Lesson (Etude) - Dali: Persistence of Memory(Fantasy) - Mondrian: Broadway Boogie Woogie (Dance) -- American composer Matthew Harris was born in 1956. He has studied at The Juilliard School, New England Conservatory, and Kingsborough College (CUNY). He lives and works in New York City.
