Program Note
While a number of the existing works for saxophone and drum set explore the powerful, loud, and harsh timbres possible in this configuration, Breathe concentrates on quiet, yet rhythmically active gestures. Using continuous lines, sudden changes in dynamics, and extended timbral techniques, Breathe explores the complexity of human breath, at times quiet and relaxed, or quiet yet shallow and troubled, and of course, at times loud and labored.
Breathe was commissioned by Patchwork, consisting of Noa Even on saxophone and Stephen Klunk on drum set.
