Domicilary

Domiciliary was written for Geoff Landman and Osnat Netzer in the Spring of 2021.

This piece grew from a reflection on the contrasting historical associations of the saxophone and piano. The single instrument plus piano configuration is associated with music education and amateur music making in the home in way that is only surpassed by solo piano. The solo saxophone on the other hand has been the chosen instrument of experimental musical practices, spontaneous music making, and has a much briefer history than the piano. In this piece these two instruments fuse together and come apart in various ways.
