Fantasy Trio (Winner of Morton Gould award and Pikes Peak Young Composers award)

Justin, again I thank you for the review.

Wow I actually won the same award for a string quartet I wrote back in 2006...but that was a category all in itself. Nice work, by the way, I enjoyed your mixture of the early and later 20th centuries. Something about the flute part was flimsy to me though...it's looseness bugged me, kind of like Carter's music does, but other than that I thought you achieved quite a texture as the cello and piano entered near the beginning. Nice work, nice work.

Justin - Great review and story. Hope you check one of my pieces (trying to finish a set of variations for clarinet and waiting to hear how performable one variation will be as it is composed of many multiphonics.)

Multiphonics don't work well at all on the clarinet.
