about

“Altitude” was written for the 2018 Cortona Sessions for New Music for violin, Bb clarinet, tenor saxophone, vibraphone, and piano. The piece is in two movements: “I. Mountains (Colombia)” and “II. Fjords (Scandinavia).” I have always found landscapes intriguing – particularly landscapes with mountains. Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to see fantastic landscapes in various parts of the globe. The two movements in this piece are intended to evoke the images and characters of mountains in Colombia and Norway.

II. Fjords (Scandinavia)

When writing movement one, I came up with some ideas that I knew belonged with “Altitude” but didn’t necessarily fit into the first movement. As I thought about the mountains of Colombia, I was reminded of the fjords I had seen in Norway. When I think of the concept of altitude, I generally think of height or being high up. Fjords are fascinating to me because they are indeed mountains, but they are sea-level mountains. Unlike the first movement, where the fast tempo and rapid melodies show off the excitement of the Colombian mountains, this movement is intended to capture the soft nature and humble joy of the Scandinavian landscape and people.
