Epilogue for Voice and Alto Saxophone (2007)

In 2007, two fellow students at The Hartt School organized a concert entitled “Momentum”.  The idea was that composers would be randomly assigned performers and would need to write a piece for those performers within an hour.  The players would then have an hour to learn the new works before presenting them on the concert.

For the project, I was assigned voice and alto saxophone.  Since a copy of Ovid’s Metamorphoses was on my desk at the time, I used an excerpt as the text of the resulting piece, Epilogue.  The work was premiered on “Momentum” by Kate Dunphy (voice) and Joe D’Aleo (saxophone).
