Strange of Passion Have I Known (2020)

Instrumentation: violin, cello, piano

About the Piece:

The Strange of Passion Have I Known, is for a piano trio, written for Pennsylvania Piano Trio. The title refers to William Wordsworth’s seven-stanza poem ballad. The lyrical substance and trance by momentary emotions transfer to musical rhymes. In addition, I tried to blur the fine line between intimacy and spiritual externalization.
