"i.C.u." by Joseph Swift and Calvin Hu is a poignant neoclassical dialogue between bassoon and piano, rooted in empathy and emotional clarity.
Swift, a thoughtful composer and performer, explores the idea of presence—of truly seeing those who suffer. The bassoon carries the emotional arc, moving from quiet grief to a full-throated cry. The piano enters with restraint, gradually becoming a gentle witness and amplifier of pain.
The piece is harmonically sparse yet emotionally rich, with chamber textures and deliberate pacing that evoke stillness and sincerity. It’s a masterclass in musical storytelling—intimate, compassionate, and socially resonant.
