Shifting Gears (2010)
for saxophone quartet
Program Note
Shifting Gears is a fun little piece which, at the micro level, depicts a system of interlocking gears or cogwheels. For larger sections, different moods and inflections are juxtaposed immediately against one another; in this sense the title also refers to the act of shifting gears in an automobile.
