Shadows (©2008) [15:45] 

 I composed Shadows between 2002 and 2005.  It is part of the thirteen-day complex of compositions named SPANDA, and occupies the 18th time zone of day 13.  Shadows is scored for clarinet choir (Eb clarinet, 2 Bb clarinets, alto clarinet or basset horn, bass clarinet, and contrabass clarinet), percussion ensemble (glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, crotales, cymbals, tam tam, woodblocks temple blocks, and Chinese exercise balls) and piano.  Shadows is dedicated to Ayako Oshima, director of the Purchase College Clarinet Choir.  The World Premiere was performed in May of 2005 at Purchase, NY.
