TRIUNE for solo voice and fixed media        

PROGRAM NOTE
Music is sound and silence.  Throughout history, humanity in all its colorful variants has molded the tonal and ambient sounds of nature into musical contexts - a medium that expresses all aspects of the human spirit.  In life, one of the first sounds we encounter is the human voice.  Within the speech and intoned sounds of the voice all the fundamental elements of music can be perceived.  With attentive listening to everyday conversation one can hear timbre changes within the harmonic series, interplay between periodicity and aperiodicity, dynamic contrast, vertical and horizontal pitch, frequency modulation, and much more.  Triune draws its sonic material from this realm.
