Program note:
The title Miroir de Sonorité refers to the strategy and compositional technique behind the piece. It focuses on reflection as a musical concept and musical material source. In the piece, the reflections - or mirrors - are represented very basically with simple gestures and motives that are delayed and played in oppositions. The piece begins with tonal reflection material, which becomes more and more complex until it breaks down at restarts in a noisy setting with new directions. You can listen to a performance from the premiere on Sound Cloud:
