Program Notes
Frequent Flyer (2005) for alto saxophone, marimba, and piano was written for the Oregon Bach Festival Composers Symposium and Fireworks, the festival ensemble-in-residence. The principal material for the work is presented in the opening fast and aggressive ritornello, which returns throughout the work between other sections. Every time it reappears, its “orchestration” is changed slightly. Between the ritornelli, variations of contrasting character are presented, based on the principal material. The work has an overall fast-slow-fast shape, generally maintaining a “flying” energy throughout.
Commission: Commissioned for Fireworks and the Oregon Bach Festival Composers Symposium
