Notes on the piece

Petrichor is a beautifully subtle duet for bass flute and harp based on improv. Petrichor is a word for the smell of rain. The warm tone of the clarinet along with the ancient, mellow sounds of the harp, weaved in a gentle melody, call forth an image of a misty landscape, and the earthy smell of the aftermath of a storm.
