Publisher Desc.  Deconstruction is a piece about stress and the toll students, especially music students, experience while in school. The performers take apart or restrict the ranges of their instruments while playing which is a metaphor for how we often feel like we are falling apart under the pressure. I also wrote a short poem in which the style changes along with the style of the piece. The beginning is structured with alternating rhyming lines and common chord progressions while in one key. The middle is free form poetry and has less patterns with no key. The ending is when they have much smaller ranges, speak one word lines, and has dissonance along with descending chromatically.
