Fisher - Komorebi - Violin and Vibraphone

Wondrous and seemingly weightless, Komorebi flickers into life with sustained violin harmonics mixing with the glow of the vibraphone’s repeated three-note figure that gently pushes the piece along. Fragments of melody gradually emerge for the violin as it takes over the vibraphone’s rhythmic figure, now given nuance through evolving articulations and meter. However, it is the violin’s soaring, patiently held material that dominates the first half of the piece, punctuated with aching glissandi descents. Komorebi eventually breaks free from its soft pulse to wander through a dream-like senza misura passage. Sonorities intermingle as the vibraphone’s elastic, rolling gestures and bowed keys converse with the violin’s harmonic tremolos and delicately expressive statements.
