The composer writes that there is some sort of instinct
in us to find or mark a 'center' of our world. A center
must act as an emotional or psychological anchor, but it
does not actually exist. Music can accomplish the
impossible and this is the goal of this work. To mark
this center the composer has used a number of musical
materials including 'difference tones.' The work was
also instired by the music of Tuva, a country north of
Mongolia and whose capital city claims to be the
geographical center of Asia. The trio is very challenging
musically. The ending has the oboe and clarinet playing
in unison in a powerful emotional climax. Duration c.
15 minutes.
This work has been recorded by Fiati. See CD2252.
