Program Note
Originally composed in Spring 2020, Undulations was never premiered due to the COVID-19 lockdown. This piece has a guided open form combining text and semi-traditional notation, with optional repeats of each section. With elements of deep listening and indeterminate harmony, Undulations is a sort of choose-your-own-adventure for its performers, necessitating active observation and decision-making by each player.
