Among Eric Ewazen’s most performed works, the TRIO (originally for Violin, Horn, and Piano) has been adapted by the composer for Flute, Horn, and Piano. Ewazen’s four movements are modeled after the Brahms “horn trio,” with a slow-fast-slow-fast scheme. A mysterious first movement accumulates depth and momentum, then returns to the gentle world of the opening. The second movement is a rip-roaring scherzo, with melodies tossed between the flute and horn. The melancholy third movement features long lyric melodies, and the final movement, following an austere introduction, turns into a grand fugue, full of life and excitement.
