for nine instruments

 

co-de-re: A Rhapsody of Sound, was conceived by a random thought experiment: "is it possible to have an 'anti-development' in music?"

​

I thought about this for some time, and I eventually wrote this work exploring the idea of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction. The first main section explores the construction of themes, the second main section explores the deconstruction of themes, and the third reconstructs these themes again albeit in a different context. co-de-re explores these ideas within a tonal context, with salient use of extended triadic harmony.
