The composer writes about her piece, 'In Clave, I have recombined elements
of clave rhythm, reordering the chromosomes on the underlying clave
genes. Clave is Afro Cuban in origin, and has taken root in many different
kinds of dance styles, Salsa among them. Clave, or key in Spanish, lies
at the core of my elements of clave rhythms, thinking of reordering the
chromosomes on the underlying clave genes. Clave is Afro Cuban in origin,
and is strongly associated with dances originating in Cuba.'
Performers for Clave and other works on the program will be members of
the University Of Virginia's Rivanna String Quartet and Albemarle Ensemble
- Alan Flute Cox, flute; Nancy Garlick, clarinet; Jeffery Decker,
saxophone; David Colwell, violin; Ayn Balija, viola; Adam Carter, cello;
