PROGRAM NOTE:
I typically write music with fairly involved programmatic intentions along with forms that echo or amplify
them. However, I also enjoy music that simply unfolds a process or a ‘conceit’. Fabrication 20: Assemblage is a component part of a larger 32-movement cycle for various ensembles ranging from solos and duos to works for orchestra. These Fabrications explore more mechanical approaches to generating music. Each has a subtitle; a synonym of ‘fabrication’ which says something about the piece itself.
Two very similar motifs for the two violins are gradually melded or ‘assembled’ into a rhythmic unison and then into a melody/accompaniment
