Tomiko Hamada Taylor, piano
Allyssa Morris was born in 1984 and hails from Orem, UT where she is an oboist and private teacher in addition to composing. This Sonata from 2012 takes inspiration from different branches of mathematics, The 1st movement is subtitled Geometry, the 3rd Integral Calculus, and the 2nd, which I am performing today, is Trigonometry. |
Specifically, she based the shape of the musical lines on the sine wave, which describes a sound wave of a single frequency with no overtones. By combining enough individual sine waves of the right frequencies and amplitudes we can create any of the most complex and beautiful musical colors. |
When I think about that, I'm reminded that in the same way, each of our many small acts of activism, education and compassion create an energy which can build up to create a global movement for peace.
