The Mischievous Life of a Garden Gnome
instrumentation: violin, piano
year composed: 2021 | 6 minutes
I composed "The Mischievous Life of a Garden Gnome" as part of my studies with International Brazilian Opera Company director and composer João MacDowell.
I chose to compose a piece for the assigned instrumentation about something I love–– garden gnomes. I keep a collection of them which includes a wide variety of characters. The piece is a response to the question of 'what do these guys get up to when I'm not around?' Its lively energy and many musical references, including a tarantella, represent the different lives my garden gnomes live.
