Instrumental Solo Composition of the Day, Installment 14:
"Morning in Boston" for
Tenor Saxophone Solo
The music of "Morning in Boston" recalls when I lived in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston from 1982–1984. The calm sound of church bells is juxtaposed with contrastingly harsh city noises. This piece is also a brief etude for multiple techniques: quarter tone bends, flutter tonguing, tremolando, and intervalic leaps performed legato.
