  • Polar Vortex for Saxophone Quartet, performed by the Sinta Quartet at their 2016 New Music Concert.
    Program Notes:
    Polar Vortex for Saxophone Quartet is a two movement work with loose programmatic ties to a winter storm in Michigan in 2014. The piece follows the timeline of that winter, beginning with optimism and peacefulness at the first snowfall that quickly leads to chaos and mayhem in the heart of the storm
    The first movement, Snowfall, finds its mood through slow moving melodic and textural figures directly mimicking a short flurry of snow. Modulations provide interest to an otherwise calm and stable piece.
    The second movement, Bloodthirsty Blizzard, heavily contrasts this first movement. With a much faster tempo, intense and jagged rhythmic activity, and a ubiquitous use of subito dynamic changes, this movement depicts the heart of the storm, or the polar vortex itself. The whole movement aggressively and constantly modulates throughout different keys and expands upon motivic material from the very beginning. A huge emphasis is on the octatonic, or diminished, scale and the work extends this emphasis by outlining a diminished chord through tonal centers of each major section.

      Thank you! The first movement is heavily inspired by Traverse Town and the other music from Kingdom Hearts. I think it even starts in the same key!

    For a moment, I thought you were Georg Friedrich Haas. And I was wondering why is this work not a microtonal work with spectral timbres.
    Regardless, beautiful work!
