As
composer-in-residence at
the Music from Angel Fire
festival in New Mexico,
Stucky was commissioned
for a new chamber work,
Rain Shadow, written for
Opus One. For
inspiration, Stucky
looked to the incredible
works of Scottish
sculptor Andy
Goldsworthy. Much of the
piece underscores
contrasts between the
piano and the violin,
viola, and cello, with
the strings working
largely as a unit,
frequently intoning their
unpredictable harmonies
in homophonic rhythms...
Rain Shadow is big on
clarity, easy to follow,
and attractive to the
ear, even letting loose
(near the end) a big ol'
Romantic theme that
wouldn't be out of place
in a cinematic epic set
in outer space. (James M.
Keller, Listen Up, Santa
Fe New Mexican).
