Clouds and Flames (2010)

Instrumentation: piano trio: violin, cello and piano (14:30)

Clouds and Flames is a piano trio in seven movements. The title Clouds and Flames and the names of the movements come from moments in Colum McCann's novel Let the Great World Spin. The movements, inspired by events in the novel, are a set of impressions on loss and rebirth, and, a meditation on the tightrope wire walk of Philippe Petit between the World Trade Center towers on August 7, 1974.
