Theresa Martin's Sonata for Clarinet and Piano was commissioned by
Walt Nielsen. Completed in August 2005, it is a three-movement
"characteristic" work modeled after a paradigm involving interpersonal
relationships, namely, initially getting to know, then having to part from,
and eventually reflect upon, a particularly good friend. Movement I starts
with a quick three-note motive. Through rhythmic and pitch
transformation, this motive evolves into a number of thematic fragments,
which depict different emotions associated with the paradigm. Besides
creating and building upon the thematic fragments, Martin uses tempi,
dynamics, dissonance, rhythm, and texture to depict a wide variety of
sentiments. Martin graduated from Arizona State University in 2004 with
Masters degrees in clarinet performance and composition. She is currently
pursuing a DMA in composition from the University of Michigan.
