RAGA ÉTUDES FOR PIANO | Book 1: Winter
Over the past year Garrett has been working with pianist GraceANN Cummings on a set of new works for piano, seven of which premiered at Seattle’s Wayward Music Series. Although these pieces may appear to resemble classical pedagogical études, their innovative process and product introduce a unique method of compositional structure to the world of music.

Commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects and HERE Arts Center, BLOOD MOON is a taut, poetic, opera-theatre for three characters who encounter each other on the night of a full moon: a nephew who returns to the mountain top where he left his aunt to die forty years earlier, the ghost of the aunt he abandoned, and the moon that presides over this night of reckoning as it did the night of her death. Inspired by the Noh play OBASUTE, the piece is a meditation on the end of life, the nature of joy, regret, and whether atonement is possible. (Photo courtesy of Maria Baranova.)
