Dance of Colors
for mixed chamber ensemble

Program Note

Dance of Colors is a vibrant and energetic work inspired by the paintings of Joan Mitchell. I first encountered her works at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts when I visited there in 2021. The memorable characteristics of her paintings are the brushstrokes that are freely dispersed on canvas and the diverse color palette. Her bold and impressionistic use of color is echoed in this piece, as the instruments intertwine in a lively dialogue of musical hues.
