Prized Possessions - Sax Quartet SATB

For saxophone quartet SATB.  Includes score and parts.

With its two contrasting movements, Prized Possessions attempts to address the human phenomenon of taking things for granted by sending musical material through various repetitions and expressive treatments. The piece focuses on balancing fleeting, quickly vanishing ideas with other material that’s allowed to obsessively linger until almost no longer welcome.

This work was composed for the PRISM Quartet during their residency at Princeton University, and premiered during the group’s 2015 New York and Philadelphia concert series at the Curtis Institute of Music and Symphony Space on May 22 and 23, respectively.
