glockenspiel/bells

The Other Side of Time was written for the New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble at the request of its director, Charles Peltz. It is scored for 25 wind instruments, timpani, and 4 percussionists. After a brooding beginning, each of its contiguous sections develops at a different but related tempo, often moving within from lyrical lines to dramatic outbursts. The final section, at the original tempo, recalls the material of the opening and its anxious percussion activity. While the piece is meant to reflect some kind of spiritual journey, the title is actually taken from a book by paleontologist/geologist Robert Titus on the origins of the Catskill Mountains in New York State.

The piece is an aleatoric loop. It can go on endlessly without ever repeating itself.

Heterophonic realization:
Both players read from the same score, starting about five seconds apart and then proceeding as normal. In rehearsal, the players may find that the performer who starts second eventually "pass" the first and they are part of the creative give-and-take calculated into the score. The performers should listen carefully to one another, however, so that by the end of p.11 they are fairly close together. The last note of the piece should be played in unison.
