The Path is a multi-movement, concert length work for piano, tres cubano, violin, cello and hand percussion. Originally conceived as a set of lead sheets for violin and piano to be played with bass and drums, the piece evolved its instrumentation to include tres, cello and percussion. This change encouraged writing out arranged and structured compositions for the longer movements, firmly positioning this piece precisely between the different worlds of lead sheets and notated compositions.
