Commissoned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University. Dedicated to Joe Lulloff Part of the cataclysmic drama of Krakatoa’s four volcanic explosions in one day was the historic death and destruction it brought, along with booms heard over 3000 miles away. For those living in its shadow, the eerie fear of waiting for what’s next was at least as intense as the eruptions. Garrop’s concerto for alto saxophone, with an orchestra using only strings and percussion, captures the full emotion and drama of the day. Garrop’s Krakatoa is at once a concerto and a tone poem with movements titled Imminent, Explosion, and Dormant. The composer’s piano reduction has been created with recital performance in mind. A live performance by Joe Lulloff is available on YouTube.
