Broken Consort, for violin, viola, vibraphone and piano is about people trying to play together but not being able to do so. Throughout the piece the players try to play in concert with each other, but something about their attempt is broken or unsuccessful. Even when they do finally managed to play together in the piece, in closing section, there’s something bitter-sweet about their resolution. My inspiration for the pieces instrumentation comes from English early baroque “broken” consorts which feature of mix of instruments from more than one family.
