Folium - prime

Folium was originally commissioned by Luisa Sello for viola and audience featuring Michael Hall. The piece quickly emerged into three iterations: Folium – prime, Folium – squared for flute and cello and Folium – cubed for soprano sax. All three pieces in series were inspired by a poem by Luisa Sello. We both share a love for poetry and music. “Let Clover be Aid” is Luisa’s only poem in English.

When Mark Lowry first mentioned the idea of writing a percussion piece about timbre and “new sounds,” I immediately turned to poetry to inspire some imagery. Friend, poet and colleague, Wayne Miller recently published his book, “What Night Says to the Empty Boat: (notes for a film in verse).” I was drawn to the last poem of the text, “Clarence Playing.”
