"The Egg Suite" (2016)Five short pieces, exploring the culinary variations of the egg . [For piano]
Though the style and character of each movement differ substantially from one another (as do their respective egg dishes), they are all bound together by the ‘E-G-G’ motif, which appears in every movement (not unlike the way eggs often act as the binding agent in a recipe). **2019 Update: Since composing these pieces, I have learned about and considered the injustices involved in animal agriculture and I have recognized the immorality of oppressing other sentient beings and of treating animals as products. That said, I do not wish to promote consuming eggs (or any animal products) with this work. Still, I stand by the music, strictly aurally-speaking. I hope you enjoy the music, and after you listen, I would encourage you to look in to switching to a plant-based diet (if you haven't already). |
