Tableau No. V

Tableau No. V

Black composer Tyson Gholston Davis wrote "Tableau No. V" as part of a series of solo pieces. Each work, as the composer reflected, is for a different solo instrument and explores the expressive possibilities. Some composers of the latter half of the 20th century have explored this idea, notably Luciano Berio (14 Sequenzas), Vincent Persichetti (25 Parables), and Elliott Carter (6 Figments and 5 Retrachings). Coincidentally, these are some of my favorite composers. This Tableau was written for my friend Andrew Gantzer (Juilliard '23)." (See YouTube video in sources)
