Otoño

Instrumentation

alto saxophone and piano

Commissioned By Timothy McAllister

Otoño (“Autumn”) is a short, lyrical piece for alto saxophone and piano. It was commissioned by Timothy McAllister, whom I’ve not only had the great honor of admiring as a performer for over two decades now, but know him as a friend and colleague since our days in music camp at Interlochen.

Otoño is a whistful but optimistic piece. It is a love song to middle age, and all that it brings.
