Alyssa Morris - Chysalis (2015)

1. Caterpillar

Learning and performing this piece was one of the most enjoyable and moving experiences I've ever had as a performer; as a theorist, I also love all the transformations Dr. Morris makes to the original "caterpillar" theme. I hope you enjoy the piece as much as I do!

1. Joyfully

This piece was a true joy to collaborate on, and I'm excited to share it with you! It is built on the theme of solitude or aloneness, and features the composer's original photography from the Curecanti National Recreation Area in Colorado.
