Nine Preludes (2007) for piano is composed as a set of discrete movements, the preludes are very much interconnected, as motivic and developmental ideas run throughout the entire set. The basic musical material (founded upon collections of minor and major thirds) is shared among all nine movements. An elegiac quality runs throughout the work. Carson Cooman is composer-in-residence at Harvard University.

Prelude I 0:00
