Clandestinity

for Reed Quintet

"Clandestinity" for Reed Quintet explores the common evil and illicit actions in this world. Its origin comes from the Latin term clandestinus, which is itself from the Latin clam, meaning "secretly." The piece travels from a smooth, dark sense of flow to a buoyant, punctual dance feel encapsulating the ironic nature of the theme itself. This highly rhythmic work demands extreme focus in its execution, as the music needs to be fueled by an extreme nature.
