Program Notes
Pair of Pants, for solo flute and clarinet, is in three short movements. The first establishes a contrasting triplet and dotted rhythmic pattern in each instrument, resulting in a somewhat whimsical dialogue. The slow, enigmatic second movement keeps to a steady 7/8 and gradually develops a motive of a single note, framed by semitones on either side. The energetic final movement features lively filigree from the flute, paired with a stubborn ostinato pattern in the clarinet.
