Devil's in the Details, Gala Flagello (2025) 5'30"
for euphonium, tuba, and piano
Devil's in the Details (2025) evokes the intricacies and entanglements of the titular idiom while challenging its inherently dark connotation. Coming into the zeitgeist in the 1960s, "the devil's in the details" is derived from the saying "God is in the details," and interestingly, over time, these idioms have become interchangeable. The euphonium, tuba, and piano weave a tangled web of textures as they explore spiky terrain, slither in tandem, cavort, and converse. As the work progresses, the trio's devil-may-care attitude transforms as they unearth wistfulness and wonder in their supposedly fiendish environment. Devil's in the Details is a piece about intention, reflection, and connection, sonically illustrating that things may not always be what they seem.
Many thanks to Kevin Fenske, Gennie Clarkson, and the consortium for commissioning Devil's in the Details and for their support of new music for this instrumentation.
