Part of a series of public music workshops, engaging Ann Arbor Community musicians. No score exists for this one (no conductor, just recorded this yesterday!) but I've included parts so you can see the notation.
Sample Two
awakening, debt
for four performers
An evening length electroacoustic work, using MAX, saxophone quartet, and performance art elements. The libretto was written collaboratively with Corey Smith and Nadine Dyskant-Miller. The piece is based on the folk tunes "Barbara Allen" and "The Dying Cowboy". No score, but sax part included.
The video features 30 minutes of curated material. Follow the brown and blue buttons below for scores and full-length videos. Some scores are unfinished or in progress, even though the pieces are already finished.
