Trio is written for viola, vibraphone, and pianoforte in two movements. The two movements share similar formal structures but carry different conversations among instruments. In many ways, Trio is a study of the relationships among voices: they sometimes act as soloists, as pairs, as contrasts, as conflicts, or do not have any relationship at all.
