Program Notes

red describes the unpredictability of a flame. Sometimes, the flame will move slowly, with smoke twisting and turning almost as if performing a sultry tango. Other times, the flame will flicker rapidly before erupting into a blazing inferno, shooting flashes of crimson, scarlet, and vermillion into the surrounding air. red is an attempt to capture the dance-like quality of a flame’s volatile movements. Many thanks to the Vanguard Reed Quintet for commissioning this piece.
