The amazing Trevor New interprets a graphic score. Moving from notation to increasingly pictorial and verbal description, this music is meant to move us from the literal to the meditative/spiritual. The instrumental line uses musical notation throughout, however, it becomes increasingly optional for the performer to play it as written or to adapt/distort/repeat as needed. Suggestions for changes in pitch or use of distortion are written, colors and shapes above the notes may be interpreted stylistically.

This work for solo violin is the result of a call for scores from Dan Flanagan, professor of violin at UC Berkley and concertmaster of the Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera as well as the Modesto Symphony. Completed in April of 2020, the piece is inspired by an 1898 lithograph of the same name by Fantin-Latour, which depicts a woman dancing. Live performance took place at Carnegie hall, 2024.
"Catherine Neville’s Danses should really be choreographed, so successfully did she evoke the spirit of dance by mere suggestion. All the elements of Fantin-Latour’s painting were there– melody, articulation, rhythm – but in short bursts that sketched a body in motion." David La Marche, New York Concert Review |

A whimsical tone poem, telling the tale of an adventure beneath the waves. This score combines a traditional orchestra with electronically produced sound to create a rich undersea sound world, inspired by fantasy and adventure.

Performed by Sara Paar and Andrea Lodge, April 2023. "Inspiration," text by the poet Ruby Archer (1873-1961).
Text: How the composer thrills, when softly glides Across the waiting soul’s attuned lyre An unthought melody, and there abides; Or when some lovely form, a dream half hides, Reveals itself, how glows the sculptor’s heart of fire! When to the poet, seeking beauty, truth, And all that Pleasure wins from dimpled Mirth, — A new perception comes, of age or youth, Of Nature’s coy caprice or random ruth— How all his being flowers with ecstasy at Fancy’s birth! |
