Possible Objects (2007)

Team

Saxophone Quartet

Preface

Possible Objects is in two parts. Part One focuses on a single pitch, while Part Two creates a repeated, perpetually-ascending melody constructed from all twelve notes. Part One explores the slight differences in the sound of each instrument; while Part Two combines all four saxophones into a single instrument, trying constantly to reach higher and higher with each repetition of the melody.

(Taking it apart, and putting it back together.)

Possible Objects was written for the Red Clay Saxophone Quartet, and was first performed by the ensemble on March 8, 2007 at Duke University, presented as a part of the 2007 Milestones Festival of Music, sponsored by Duke University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
