Mandat - Togetherness for Flute/Piccolo and B-flat/E-flat Clarinet

Eric Mandat - Togetherness for Flute/Piccolo and B-flat/E-flat Clarinet. Commissioned by the Scott/Garrison Duo, Shannon Scott, clarinet, Leonard Garrison, flute. This work explores the flow of confluent and divergent energies in heightened states, as if these subtle microworlds were suddenly transformed into a macrovibrant bustling metropolises. In three movements:

1. Profound – Contemplative, dusky, and ethereal multiphonics.
2. Quirky – Crystalline whimsy, interrupted by occasional boorish outbursts
3. Driving – Triumphant and purposeful, with the performers taking turns leading the action.
