Trio No.2 is divided in three movements, a brisk Allegro, a pensive Interlude, and the final Agitato. It is as an asynchronous composition, one in which the players are not required to play notes according to their vertical alignment in the score. The motivation for the piece arose as a response to shelter-in-place directives put in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which prevent ensemble players from rehearsing and performing together. The solution to this compositional problem looks back to the semi-aleatoric writing from the second half of the 20th century and solves the problem of retaining coordination among players by always identifying a lead player who serves as a reference point for the other players. The result is however often chaotic, perhaps an appropriate metaphor of our time under Covid-19.
