Brush Strokes (2015)

With “Brush Strokes” (2015), published by TrevCo Music Publishing, visual arts and sophisticated chamber music merge into a colorful, evocative sonic experience. Originally commissioned by the acclaimed Athenia Chamber Ensemble, this four-movement work for woodwind trio (flute, oboe, and bassoon) pays musical homage to four master painters: Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Vincent van Gogh, and Jackson Pollock. Each movement brilliantly captures the distinctive aesthetics and energy of the respective artist—ranging from delicate impressionistic hues and pointillist precision to expressive passion and vibrant abstraction. This edition includes the full score and a complete set of parts. An inspiring and richly faceted contemporary piece that adds artistic flair to any concert program and will captivate performers and audiences alike.
