Alyssa Morris (b. 1984)
Kaitlyn Calcagino, flute Andrew Swift, oboe; Ethan Lippert, bassoon
Alyssa Morris is an American composer and oboist born in 1984. Brush Strokes is a four movement work where each movement is meant to emulate the brush works of famous painters. The first movement, Monet, depicts the ever changing running water through beautiful melodies and shifting melodies. Seurat, has a jaunty character encapsulating the pointillism in Seurat’s famous works. The third movement, Van Gogh, is meant to depict the famous Starry Night through the overall darkness of the piece and swirling melodic lines. Pollock is the final movement, using flourishes of notes to depict Jackson Pollock’s “drip technique.”

Christian Ellenwood (b. 1970) Crisha Joyner, flute Marissa Stanfill, clarinet; Jared Cummings, baritone saxophone
Vent by Christian Ellenwood (b. 1970) is written for flute, clarinet and baritone saxophone, with the option of bassoon. The piece is composed of three movements: 1. SMH, 2. OMG, and 3. Funk Yeah. The first movement was originally titled LOL, which is fitting as the accents sound like laughing. Overall, the piece is infused with the energy of jazz, pop, and funk. It was written and dedicated to his chamber group members, Cristina Ballatori on flute, and Matthew Sintchak on saxophone. This work was composed in 2020 and had its premiere at the National Flute Association Convention in 2021. Coping for flute, oboe, and piano I. Counting, Breathing III. Running

Alyssa Morris (b. 1984) earned the BM and MM degrees from Brigham Young University, and the DMA at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Known for her ability to paint a vivid story using a wide range of emotions, her works can be described as compassionate, clever, and powerful. She co-founded the Aglow Trio with flutist Karen Large and pianist Amanda Arrington. This nationally-acclaimed ensemble performs works that bring hope and light to listeners, such as her 2018 work, Coping. This three-movement work is dedicated to those that suffer from anxiety, depression, and other mental hardships.
Mirage (2013)
Brenna Wiinanen, flute Connor Croasmun, clarinet; Darci Wright, percussion
Chin Ting Chan (b. 1986)
Chin Ting Chan’s (b. 1986) Mirage for flute, B-flat clarinet and percussion is a sonic representation of a mirage - an optical allusion caused by atmospheric conditions that cause light rays to be bent and refracted. This phenomenon creates allusions which often cause objects to seem to be displaced, such as a pool of water appearing in the distance on a hot road. Such an illusion is represented in the piece. As Chan describes, the work features “rapid successions of sound events” that appear as “imaginary displaced “objects” in a mirage.” Silent Flower
Rachael Lawson, flute Jeesoo Kin, piano; Landon Holladay, percussion
Daiki Kato (b. 1987)
Daiki Kato is from Ogaki, Japan. In his childhood, his primary instrument was piano, and he also studied composition. In high school he began to play marimba as his primary instrument. Kato graduated from SHOBI College of Music with a percussion performance degree. Kato is also an active chamber musician and plays in percussion ensembles Beat Laboratory, Sutella 21, and Ensemble Varius. He currently resides in Nerima, Tokyo, where he is a marimba instructor at Fuga Music Class. His piece Silent Flower was commissioned by the trio PIARECSION and was originally scored for recorder, marimba, and piano.
