Transparent Landscapes is a study in musical color. The first movement blurs and blends the sounds of the instruments; the second movement features virtuosic cello music; movement three treats each instrument in a soloistic fashion; and the fourth movement switches rapidly between a driving rhythmic texture and shimmering, chaotic sounds. This piece was inspired by Gyorgy Ligeti's four-movement Chamber Concerto (1970). However, one may also hear references to both medieval music (II) and blues (IV).
