Broken Hierarchies (2008)
(for Piano Trio)- Peters Edition Limited (World)
Broken Hierarchies II by Emily Howard is a contemporary work for Piano, Violin and Cello. This work is a reworking and, in some parts, a complete transformation of musical material from the piece Broken Hierarchies for seven cellos, written in 2008. It was composed for Soundings, May 2009, and first performed by the Fidelio Trio in London and Vienna, supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum and British Council.
Programme Note
In Broken Hierarchies a key musical idea is that of a melody that is broken, faltering and eventually found, if only fleetingly. It’s a short intense work for piano trio exploring fragmentation and reassembly; tension and liberation, through a stratospheric ‘cello line, paired with and against violin, contrasted by percussive gestures from the piano.
