Rut for bari sax

2024, composer Phillip C. Roberts
Dawson Coleman, baritone saxophone
Dendrinos Chapel, Interlochen, MI
Rut was written as a commission for saxophonist Carly Hood, who requested it as part of her CD project. The piece speaks to the compositional rut, or more broadly productive malaise, that the composer and many of us felt in the wake of a worldwide pandemic. Tight trills and harmonic clusters give way to open fifths, and hope for all experiencing a productive rut for whatever reason to come out on the other side of it all the better.
