Program Notes
Tangling Shadows was commissioned by oboist Amy Anderson and percussionist Lisa Rogers, both professors in the School of Music at Texas Tech University, for oboe and vibraphone. The piece was premiered on November 8, 2006 at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Austin, Texas. I reworked the piece for soprano saxophone and marimba for performance at the 2008 UNC-Greensboro New Music Festival. The 8-minute work is based upon the Pablo Neruda poem, “Thinking, Tangling Shadows.” Fragments of the text may be found throughout the score for reference.
