Penumbra for bassoon and piano (2011)

9-10 minutes

   The word "penumbra" refers to an area of half shadow, or in painting, the blending of light and shade.  This work occupies such a musical space, shifting beyond the penumbra to areas both of light and of greater darkness. 

    Penumbra was written for Carol Cope Lowe, and showcases both the lyric and technical capabilities of the bassoon.
