husband-and-wife piano duo of Steven Pane and Yuri Funahashi. As the title suggests, each of the preludes is based on some aspect of doubling, especially that of pitch. in the final prelude, \"Mezzotint,\" for example, every note in the treble pianist's right hand is simultaneously doubled in their left hand an octave and in a Minor third lower. The same is true for the bass pianist, except that the interval between doubled notes is an octave and a Major third. Most striking are the \"stretched-octave\" doublings between the outer hands of the two players in \"Calder,\" \"Toccatina,\" and \"Walzmärsche,\" where notes in the extreme bass are paired with their treble counterparts a half step away—low G with high A-flat, for example, a pairing that sounds oddly consonant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45061875269711,"sku":"ACA-CAPH-099","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/2f8ed9409f4d6bddef87460c2615570f.webp?v=1780257447"},{"product_id":"carlsen-the-cellist-aca","title":"Carlsen: The Cellist","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/philip-carlsen\"\u003ePhilip Carlsen (1951-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eSATB Choir\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Cellist (2024)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eComposer's Note:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was the winner of the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir's 2024 Call for Compositions on the theme \"Choral Memoirs: Your Story, Your Song.\" for the text, I chose one of my own poems, a sonnet about attending a Portland Symphony Orchestra performance of Strauss's\n\u003cem\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/em\u003e\nwith my dad about a year after my mom died.
