COMPOSER’S NOTE Drones & Piano was written for Bruce Brubaker, and was commissioned for the 2010 Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. Each movement begins with the pre-recorded elements establishing a drone which lasts for the duration of the movement. The first bar of each movement can be quite long. If the marked tempos are observed, there should be no issue making each movement flow into the next comfortably; however, some expansion and contraction of rests may become necessary, and is indeed encouraged to give an element of unpredictability to each performance. Nico Muhly 2010
Duration: c. 14 minutes
