Strata, a three-movement work written for oboe, Bb clarinet, and bassoon, continues the idea of “accumulation and dissolution of complex musical objects” begun in 2004 with Metamagical Themas. Multiple processes of accumulation and dissolution in the realms of pitch, rhythm, and form interact simultaneously, creating an atmosphere of constant variation with key structural points articulated where the processes become synchronized. The orchestration creates a deliberate ambiguity concerning the role of each performer in terms of principal voice vs. accompaniment, providing an environment of constantly shifting focus upon each of the three performers who often perform as soloists simultaneously.
