Filigree by gregcaffrey published on 2017-10-01T19:53:43Z Filigree (Paris 2015) This work, commissioned by Duo Montagnard, was written at a point when most of my new works were characterized with slow moving textures and attempts to imbue the music with as much color and flexibility of line as possible. Filigree, then, combines this aesthetic with sections that exhibit a more motor-driven approach, harking back to earlier works for sax and guitar such as Pluck Blow. These sections with a single discernable pulse alternate with the more rhapsodic sections. The faster sections climb gradually in pitch with phrases that are distinctly jazz-like, reflecting an even earlier influence in my output. Greg Caffrey Genre Contemporary
