Introducing a new FJH composer, Robin McLaughlin, Beyond the Fence, is a quiet piece that weaves between the hands and is set in almost MC position (LH on B, RH on MC). The long phrases use basic rhythmic figures and dynamics. The piece introduces McLaughlin's compositional style in a performance piece that creates a sound world beyond our own backyard. The piece includes a teacher duet that enhances the student's solo.
