Fencing 2019 by Dan Senn for	Schönberg In Two Sections duration 9-10 minutes Chamber Ensemble, 12-15 Instruments
Fencing Schönberg was written in the summer of 2019 and is for 12-15 chamber instruments including the flute (piccolo), clarinet, bass clarinet, alto sax, trumpet, tenor and base trombones, marimba, piano, violin, viola and 'cello (strings may be doubled). The work was written on a whim in the study room at the Glen Street Library in Belrose, NSW (Sydney, Australia). The photo above was taken on Manly Beach in Sydney about the same time. The title of this work refers to its metering which  acts as a taming device as I worked to thwart the  harmonic harshness of the dodecaphonic  method, now 100 years in use, this, while  employing traditional matrix delineations.
