PRECIPICE

for saxophone octet (2025)

PRECIPICE is about the feelings and thoughts that come after reaching some sort of apex. I was picturing hiking up a lush, tree-covered mountain, and coming to a clearing that led to the highest point of the mountain. After the high of achieving such a feat, what comes next?

A special thanks to the UT Saxophone Studio for taking a chance on me and my work. I am so grateful.
