Description
A doppelgänger is “a ghostly counterpart of a living person” (Merriam-Webster). The composer has not chosen to explore the spiritual nature of the doppelgänger, but has borrowed the concept of duality and created an environment of musical and visual mirroring that pervades the composition. As the work is learned, performers should endeavor to exploit the opportunities for mirroring each other both musically and visually. While not critical to the performance of the work, these details may aid in furthering the experience for the audience.
