Morning Jaunt was written for the Clayton High School woodwind ensemble under the direction of Sophie Browning-Brodack. When Sophie asked me to write this piece, I wanted to write a quirky tune that someone might be whistling to themselves as they would take a walk to clear their mind. The music leans into this quirkiness from the very beginning of the piece with a jaunty skip in the clarinets, while still taking momentary pauses to reflect and enjoy the world around them.

All prominent oboe and bassoon lines have been cued or doubled in other instruments.

A lot of the beauty of Sara Teasdale's poetry comes from its capricious nature, shifting from tender whimsy to melancholy, and sometimes existing
in both states at once. This duality is seen in Brodack's setting of one of her most lyrical poems, "If I Must Go."

SSAATTBB Octavo

"Autolalia" consists of several soliloquies, played in an order determined by each individual player. This gives each performer the ability to distinguish their interpretation using musical form and the structure of the entire piece, rather than just phrasing or tempo. This plays into the deeper meaning of "Autolalia," not only referring to the concept of speaking to one's self during a soliloquy, but also the appreciation of how each performer's mind is reflected in the organization of the piece, as well as phrasing and tempo.

Flute Solo Unaccompanied

Nigun is based on a partial cantillation of Kohelet 3 (Ecclesiastes 3), heard later in the piece in its recomposed form by the solo horn. The first two lines of this verse somewhat shape the form of the piece, ranging from somewhere a bit static and mournful, to hopeful and looking forward with anticipation. Each new section of the music holds a wide variety of emotion and meaning, but generally is meant to be more uplifting as the music progresses.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"


Written for Andrew Pelletier for the 2022 International Horn Symposium
