Gala Flagello Interferences
PERUSAL
for Solo Piano 2020
Program Note
Interferences (2020) was commissioned by Melissa Coppola as part of [perspective], a concert series that re-envisions the time-honored art form of the piano recital as an immersive, multi-sensory experience. Interferences showcases the effects of light pollution and humans’ impact on the environment through “sparks” musically embodied by high-contrast dynamics, tempi, and registral shifts.
Performance Note
The clusters in mm. 84-86, 111, and 141 marked with a vertical band are chromatic clusters, as in the first beat of m. 84.
