I falleN TwO

“I falleN TwO” is an abstract narrative for string quartet and steel pans (a single performer on soprano/ tenor pan & alto/double 2nd pans). The piece tells a story, through a series of seven continuous movements, of a person who is challenged by conflicting dualities in life. The “fallen two” is melodically represented by motives employing a falling second. At the same time, the title refers to the many obstacles in life that require us to persevere and, ultimately, to trust that things will “fall into” place.
