This is a piece I wrote a few years ago for Pierrot Ensemble (Piano, Violin, Cello, Flute, Clarinet) entitled "Stray Cat". This is a piece I wrote in the depths of depression and feeling of abandonment. My life is thankfully in better shape than it was at the time. I reflected upon seeing a stray cat in an alley, getting close to it, and then imagining in my head all the different scenarios that would happen with this cat during the night, trying to survive, trying to get by, which in many ways was how I felt about my own life at the time.
The first movement is a dance like movement, in 5/4, complicated rhythms symbolizing the hurdles a stray cat must dance through to live and survive.
The second movement is as the movement title suggests, a monologue from the stray cat itself (portrayed by the solo violin), greatly lamenting and cursing its living situation angrily, even coming to curse at the house cats who find themselves in lavish homes it can seemingly never enter into
The third movement is about the constant sound of dialogue traveling over and around the locations where the cat is trying to inhabit, sometimes shrill, sometimes threatening, sometimes passive, sometimes distant but all seeing the cat as invisible, the cat even feeling invisible.
The first three movements are as follows:
I. Nightfall Manor
II. Monody in an Alley 2:26
III. Dialogues Between Rooftops 6:32
