"Coalescence" is comprised of two movements of opposite forces, Coagulation and
Discombobulation. The first slow movement, Coagulation, gradually brings the harmonies of the
strings to gravitate and finally end in unison on middle C. The second fast movement,
Discombobulation, works to unravel the melody and rhythmic progression throwing different obstacles
in the ensemble’s path to keep from arriving the completion of the initial thought stated in the opening
theme.
