Nethermead Arches, for clarinet and piano
Robert Cucinotta
About this work:
One of architect Calvert Vaux's original structures in Brooklyn's Prospect Park is Nethermead Arches. This bridge located in the Nethermead near the Music Pagoda was designed with multiple vaults: one for pedestrians, one for equestrians, and one for the flowing waters of the Ambergill. It was a frequent and favorite destination of mine when I was living in Flatbush near the park.
Originally composed for violin and piano in 1979, this work was revised and rescored for clarinet and piano in 2005-06 for my son, James. This version was premiered on May 4, 2006 at Purchase College by James Cucinotta, clarinet and Gerard Hecht, piano.
Nethermead Arches is published by Kirkside Music.
