 This very popular piece has
enjoyed performances across the country. Entre Nous
was originally premiered in Omaha, Nebraska with the
University of Nebraska Chamber Orchestra under the direction
of Dr. David Low. Soon Entre Nous made it's way
to places such as Florida, Texas, and most recently, Iowa,
where this newest revision was premiered under the direction
of Thomas Miller. Mr. Miller was one of the original
members of the orchestra that premiered this work in 1997
and is now a member of the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra, as
the principle Bassist. Entre Nous has faired
well in competition and recital and is sure to be a great
addition the repertoire of any chamber orchestra.Entre Nous (between me and thee) is a conversation between a man and his God. It is a single movement, ternary composition, mirroring the Holy Trinity. Beginning in a solemn g minor, it quickly moves forward with an endless flow of eighth note counterpoint, emerging enchantingly into the flowing melancholy melody of the B section. The second A surfaces in a minor with a sudden new energy and direction, slipping into a deeply contemplative, ethereally enchanting ending. Entre Nous is also a very unique and interesting piece, perhaps the reason for its popularity. Structurally, it turns upside-down a number of times, each line becoming the melody at some point. A very linear piece, melodic interweaving and predominance give Entre Nous a characteristic that can be best described as enchanting. Much of the "melody" being perceived is actually a combination of several lines of music at once, often in contrast to another melody or two beneath. The great challenge in performing Entre Nous is knowing who has the primary emphasis at any given point. A careful study of the score by the director will save valuable rehearsal time and yield noticeably better initial results. Premiere: University of Nebraska at Omaha - Chamber Orchestra, April 30, 1997 Difficulty: Moderate - A great piece for middle school or youth orchestras. Great for competition. Entre Nous has been performed for several competitions and a graduate audition at Florida State.
