I wrote Fossil Light for an orchestration workshop in graduate school back in 2010-11.  The title was inspired by a line in a book where the author referred to starlight as "Fossil Light." Each movement depicts a different viewpoint of the light: the bold, intense sight at the source of the star, the faint, ages-old dots we see in the sky, and the traveling of the light particles in between.  ​Though score and parts are unfortunately unavailable, I'm always up for a commission! Please send me a note if you would be interested in collaborating!

About the Work

 

I completed Steps for tenor saxophone and wind ensemble in 2015.  At that point in time, Steps was the second movement of a two-movement work, That Takes Care 'a That (silly name for a dissertation!). Since then, I have decided to turn it into a stand-alone piece.  Below, you'll find the original score and sample recordings. Though revisiting a work that is a few years old can be a daunting task for a composer, there are some moments in Steps that I'm truly excited about developing more.  My goal is to complete the work by 2025. ​

 

Are you a saxophonist, conductor, or member of an ensemble that would be interested in being part of the process and premiere? Or, would you simply like to be among the first to know when the score and parts are available? Please let me know by filling out the form below.  I'm open to putting together a consortium, and I would much appreciate any help or feedback. 

Send me a note to be part of the process/premiere or to be the first to know when the score is available!

Thanks for your interest in Steps! Can't wait to wrap it up! Cheers - Laura

プログラムノート

マーキュリーのマーチ 貿易の神であり神々の使者であるマーキュリーの一日の想像上の場面を描いています。まず、低音の金管が、街中を大胆に行進するマーキュリーを描写する、ずる賢く大胆なマントラを導入します。 パトロール中、彼はカドゥケウスを誇示します。カドゥケウスは二匹の蛇が絡みついた杖で、定命の者を眠らせ、死者を蘇らせ、触れたものを金に変える魔法の力を持っています。トリックで知られる彼のふざけた態度は、トロンボーンのグリッサンドや、ずるずるとさまよう2番目のメロディーを通して聞くことができます。この 2 番目のメロディーは、ドリアン モードを使用してマーキュリーの強さを表現しています。 6 番目のスケールの上昇度を強調することで、勝利のハーモニーが作成されます。曲が進むにつれて、顧客がマーキュリーと取引したりからかったりしている様子が、楽器のグループから別のグループに移る短いアクセントのある数字を通して聞こえてきます。そして、場合によっては音の衝突が起こることさえあります。
