For3 (2012-2013)

FOR3 is a three-movement Trio for Clarinet, Trombone and Double Bass that was composed for the Chamber Music Festival in The Hague.

Every movement deals with the untraditional combination of these instruments, first focussing on their differences (Movement I), then focussing on their technical capabilities (Movement II) and last focussing on their abilities to focus and blend together (Movement III). Between the movements, there is a silence, but as soon the silence is broken by a member of the audience, the ensemble starts directly with the next movement, creating a tension between audience and players.
