Program Note

Scahttenspiel (Shadow play), also known as shadow puppetry, is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment which uses flat articulated cut-out figures (shadow puppets) which are held between a source of light and a translucent screen. (Wikipedia)

This piece was written for a collaboration between two music enesmbles. One is my electric-guitar trio Triple Helix and the other is the Cibisescu-Duran piano quartet from Cluj, Romania.
