energy flows nervously... in search of stillness
Saxophone Quartet
"energy flows nervously . . . in search of stillness" was written for the Assembly Saxophone Quartet, who commissioned the work and premiered it at the 17th World Saxophone Congress in Strasbourg, France (July 10, 2015).
The piece begins with dense intensity as quietly as possible. The tension gradually increases as the dynamic level rises and eventually reaches fff. At this point, with the harmonic language at its loudest and most dissonant moment, the search for stillness begins and ultimately finds its destination in calmness and silence. The work was recorded by the Assembly Saxophone Quartet and is available on AMP Recordings.
