What goes on in the minds of chamber musicians as they express their feelings through music? In Three’s a Crowd, Gary Schocker offers five imaginary conversations for flute, oboe, and bassoon, using music rather than words. Sometimes harmonious, sometimes impatient, but like any carefully observed conversation, always complex and interesting. Performers and listeners alike will enjoy puzzling over what the composer had in mind with:
- How Do You Do?
- Let’s Discuss
- I Hear You
- Then on the Other Hand
- Outta Here
