Ascendance
(2016)
tuba quartet
Duration: 3:30
I met Matt Hightower at the 2015 Southeast Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference through a mutual friend, though I didn't get to hear him play that weekend. Later, I saw that his quartet, ATLAS, was going to be playing at the 2016 ITEC. I asked Matt if he was looking for any new music, and Ascendance was written shortly after. I chose the title to reflect the general upwards motion of the melodic line, as well as a play on the word 'dance,' the piece having a stately dance quality. Written for ATLAS quartet.
