Program Notes
Dialogue was written for clarinetist Kristen Kirch to be performed at her final degree recital with her husband Karl, a percussionist. I created two versions of this piece; one was Soliloquy, which had a prominent clarinet part with a marimba part serving as accompaniment; and Dialogue, which has more equality between the two parts.
