Description
This atonal piece, composed in 1982, was commissioned by and dedicated to Jay Barksdale. It is challenging, especially with regards to rhythm, and requires tremolos, multiphonics, tongue-slaps, timbre changes, and various tonal aberrations caused by teeth pressure against the reed among its extended techniques. Instructions and suggested fingerings are very clear. According to the score, “A ‘Dammit to Hell’ is the fieriest barbecue sandwich in the deep south, available at the ‘Tired Texan’ in Birmingham, Alabama.” E5 is the top-most pitch.
