DESPAIR for Clarinet in B-flat and Violoncello (1993)
(excerpt)
DESPAIR was composed in the fall of 2003.  It is intensely personal, and I hope it speaks for itself.  DESPAIR is dedicated to Higo Harada.

"I detected some nicely tailored dry-point dissonant counterpoint that might have earned an A-minus in Milton Babbitt's classrooms."
