Noctivagant (2024), for flute, bass clarinet, teno sax, cello, and piano

Program Notes

Inspired by an incident that occurred while a man was stranded deep in the mountain woods at night, Noctivagant embodies the impending sense of dread that comes with the realization that you are not alone in a dim, seemingly never-ending landscape. Through its dark tone and rapid shifting between periods of intense adrenaline and anxious, suspenseful repose, this piece uses its volatility and density to emulate the natural fight-or-flight response that is evoked by the body when it senses and responds to impending danger.
