Synopsis #5: He Figures Out What Clouds Mean (2007, arr. for clarinet 2020)

from Blueprints I by Lisa Bielawa

about

Ashleé Miller, clarinet

originally composed for Terry Everson, solo trumpet

Terry’s playing has so many colors and characters - so many of them lyrical and, by standard expectations, un-trumpet-like - that it reminds me of the inexhaustible variety of cloud forms – big fluffy ones, long thin ones, pinkish transparent ones, threatening grey ones. All floating overhead like a strange but noble message from the gods. If any instrument can figure out what clouds mean, it's the trumpet. This synopsis provided harmonic material for the “Drama/Self-Pity” section of Chance Encounter.
