Prince of Clouds

Composer's note:

"When writing Prince of Clouds I was contemplating the presence of musical lineage - a family-tree of sorts that passes from generation to generation. This transfer of knowledge and inspiration between generations is a beautiful gift. Composed specifically for Jennifer Koh and her mentor at the Curtis Institute of Music, Jaime Laredo, this thread was in the foreground of my imagination as a dialogue between the soloists and ensemble. As a composer, working with such virtuosic, passionate and unique musicians is also another branch of this musical chain.
Prince of Clouds was composed at the Hermitage Artist Retreat in the Summer of 2012."
