The annoyingly aggressive driver right on your tail.  The early morning telemarketing call. The noisy crinkling of candy wrappers at the most delicate moment of a piece.  This movement is an expression not of the biblical wrath that brought on wars and plagues, but of a modern-day version that seethes, curses and imagines sweet vengeance for those petty little transgressions that can madden even the most imperturbable of us.

Mirage 2 explores the idea of the real versus the illusory through its treatment of gesture and timbre.  Air tones, percussive attacks and soft tremolos juxtaposed with jagged melodic lines blur the boundaries between sound and silence, pitch and noise, monody and harmony.

Bloom for solo cello (1999) 

Duration: 12 min.
Available through the Canadian Music Centre // Recording Available

Transformation is a theme common to all three movements in this work. The first movement, emerging, interprets the process as an intense struggle.  Structured as a large wedge shape, the movement begins softly and gradually builds in successive waves of increasing and unrelenting tension.   In the second movement, playfuI, this tension gives way to a sense of levity, yet even this scherzo has moments that echo the aggressiveness of the previous movement.  In hushed, there is, at last, an arrival at a quiet stasis through repetitions of a simple motive that appears with only slight variations.
