Twin Trio

Twin Trio
By Derek Bermel
For Flute, Bb Clarinet and Piano
Published by Peer Music Classical
Includes score, flute part, and Bb clarinet part

The flute and clarinet, though different in sound production, are similarly bound by their common “woodwind”-ness and by their similar range. The trio movements each focus on a specific interval and its corresponding octave “twin”, major 2nd and minor 7th in the first movement, “Mirror”; perfect 4th and 5th in the second movement, “Converse”; major 3rds and minor 6th in the final movement, “Follow”. The third movement “Share”, is a flute/clarinet duo in which gravitational pulls of minor and major 2nds are explored.
