Description
This piece was composed in 1995 and dedicated to Sam Gurney. The music is lyrically atonal and very motivic. While the full range is employed, the upper register is used extensively up to Eb5, and there are a few high glissandi, one leading to a quarter-tone above C#5. No other extended techniques are employed. While not technically difficult, the upper register requirements make this a challenging piece.
