Alf's Labyrinth for viola and piano by Hannah Selin published on 2019-01-12T21:36:56Z Commissioned by One Quiet Plunge Performed by Christiana Reader (viola) and Alex Peh (piano) Premiered on August 19, 2018 at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY Alf's Labyrinth is inspired by memories of the hedge labyrinth that my great-grandfather Alf Evers built on his mountainside property in Shady, NY. The viola and piano trade off the roles of wanderer and hedges, one seeking a way through while the other surrounds it. The music winds forward, around and backward through time and space, following the contours of a surreal labyrinth. As in memories and dreams, things once glimpsed are not the same when we pass them again; yet we still recognize them by an innate identity that supersedes physical form. Genre Classical
