Premiere: June 17, 2018 by Ryan Mantell and the New Jersey Youth Saxophone Ensemble in Randolph, New Jersey
Program Notes:
a stillness, disturbed is an intense 10 minute work for saxophone that begins with a drone that evolves and grows more intense over time until the entire work collapses in on itself. It was inspired by my experience with anxiety attacks.
