Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Trio Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.977003 Composed by Keith Moss (b.1982). 20th Century,Contemporary. 39 pages. Keith Moss #3480965. Published by Keith Moss (A0.977003). The trio was written in 2012 for the first Stefans Grové Composition Competition.  The brief was to write for any trio combination. Based on the poem by Gerard Manley Hopkings, As Kingfishers catch fire, Dragonflies draw flame, the imagery derived from the poem was the driving force behind the piece. Set in three movements I shifted the slow movement to the end. This was the first piece that explored the possibilities I set out to find regarding augmented triads and their resolutions.The first movement explores these possibilities but the difficulty lay in producing all three triadic resolutions with only three instruments simultaneously.  The piece became an exercise in restraint.  The second movement followed as a scherzo where arpegiated figures helped to flesh out the harmonic structures I was seeking.  The final movement is a free-form canon of sorts putting the active preceding movements to rest. The piece subsequently won the First Prize in the competition and was awarded in early 2013.
