Description
husk is a micro-concerto written for Hanzhi Wang. At about 15 minutes in duration in two highly contrasting movements, it feels to me in some way an excerpt from a larger work that does not yet exist, though I hope it will be felt by listeners as a self-contained experience! In the first movement, the accordion acts as the heart (the grain) of an ensemble body (shell) that germinates yet is always contained with and nurtured by the skin of its ensemble support. In the second movement, this skin begins to break apart or be scraped apart. The accordion lashes out of its skin. The grain without its hull may become an object of growth, an object of decay, or an object of nourishment. I haven’t yet written that part. Katherine Balch
