Original Blend (2002)
two performance options:
1. bass clarinet (or bari sax), tenor saxophone, violin, drum-set, piano
2. bass clarinet (or bari sax), tenor saxophone, violin, cello (optional 2nd cello), drum-set, marimba, piano
Original Blend is a high energy build that embraces groove, unevenness, and surprises. Originally written for violinist Todd Reynolds, bass clarinetist Michael Lowenstern, piano and drum-set, I have since expanded it to larger ensembles including winds, strings, and percussion.
