The Trio for Violin, Cello & Piano draws on music
spanning nearly four decades. The second movement is
adapted from 'Sad Minuet in Olden Style', an orchestral
piece composed in 2011 in memory of Edward Koehler,
who, among his many triumphs, was principal flute with
the U.S. Navy band during the 1970s. One of Ed's
favorite pieces to perform was Gluck’s minuet, 'Dance
of the Blessed Spirits', which inspired this piece.
