Tonal CenÂter Trio, comÂprised of soprano Tiffany Du Mouchelle, perÂcusÂsionÂist Stephen Solook, and Adam Berkowitz, clarÂinet, have been huge supÂportÂers of new music. NatÂuÂrally, I was delighted to write music for them. I decided to write someÂthing lighter and more humorÂous, and stumÂbled across this great poem “The Duel” by Eugene Field. Field is best known as the author of “Winken, Blinken, and Nod” and this poem tells the story of a dog and a cat who… well, duel!
A great way to supÂport new music is to perÂform the music you find here.
