PRogram Note:
Written for solo viola and ensemble, the inner workings of a throat exposed was inspired in part by Monica Youn’s poem, Brownacre.
‘...a shape that should have been an emblem
of sufficiency, of calm, but whose surfaces
were teeming with a turbulent rush of particles
like the inner workings of a throat exposed, and
whose dimensions were expanding with shocking speed,
accumulating mass, accumulating coherence...’
