Program Note

Unlike many of my works, Heavy is not programmatic, nor does it evoke some extra-musical topic. The title is inspired by the instrumentation of Levels, the commissioning ensemble, comprised of instruments with heavy and dark timbres. I sought to exploit those dark timbres throughout the piece through sharp accents, drawn-out motivic processes, pulsing grooves, and a deeply emotional slow section.

Heavy was commissioned by Levels, a student ensemble based at Lawrence University, my alma mater.

— Evan Williams
