Playful        The opening movement shows the versatility of both instruments. Each  passage has simple harmonic language and each instrument plays off of the  others passage like a team, as if sharing and forming a new idea.                 Frenzy        Here the playfulness of the instruments becomes crazier. The short and  crisp notes throughout this movement are the drive for the frenzy, as if in a  sugar rush.                 Calm        As a result of the previous movement, the intensity hits rock bottom with  this Hindemith-esque round. The entire flute line is the original melodic  content while the clarinet gets placed at random intervals every time it  re-enters to create tension and release during this slow, lyrical  section.                Rampage        The piece ends with this moment of absolute insanity. Being the fastest and  most difficult of the four movements, the music stops for no one, containing  so many technical passages and barely any room for a breath.

Ascension

Full Orchestra Score & Parts

Instrument Type

This piece is written in a way that the saxophones are against each other most of the time. It is made of three separate themes that act as separate statements in a kind of musical argument that mix together throughout the piece. The objective here is to go against the other players, yet stay as a musically cohesive unit. The fast sections utitlize a Bossa Nova style. The slower more lyrical section represents a temporary truce.Then the saxophones egos get in the way again and the peace is shattered, presented as two rounds of two of the themes. Then the whole fight starts all over again. Even if the piece ends, is it truly over?
