Summary of This Score
Assonance IIIis part of the ongoing Assonancescycle, where the notion of "assonance" (in the sense of proximity of timbre and vowel sound, rather than rhyme) becomes a metaphor for musical writing. Through this piece, Michael Jarrell develops a sonic concept based on relationship, distance, and transformation, relying on recurring materials that can be "re-examined," revisited, varied, and colored.
Written for bass clarinet, cello, and piano, the work demands a particularly precise chamber listening: balance of layers, management of resonances, and handoffs between registers and textures. The piano is not merely a harmonic support but a partner in percussion, resonance, and projection, while the bass clarinet and cello explore their friction zones (breath, grain, attack, continuity of sound), up to the assumed limits of the instrument and the writing.
This contemporary music score is suitable for performers and ensembles wishing to work on a demanding and finely crafted contemporary repertoire, where form advances through successive focalizations, color variations, and recomposition of material. A relevant reference for deepening the universe of Jarrell, between cycle, self-analysis, and instrumental research.
