• Hazy Moonlight

  "Hazy Moonlight for soprano saxophone, percussion, and electroacoustics takes its inspiration from five haiku by poet Wally Swist:
  
  thistledown seeds the falls
  a full moon shatters
  into stars
  
  slipping through moonlight
  a waterthrush rushes
  rock to rock
  
  cloud wisps across the moon
  gusts of rain patter among
  piles of fallen leaves
  
  bracing the chill
  moonlight rushes
  in the icy river
  
  mountain laurel blossoms
  a luminous moth
  ascends into moonlight
  
  Swist’s vivid scenes depict the moon’s appearance across the seasons, creating an organic foundation for the work’s structure and soundscape. The instrumentalists’ virtuosic foray through Swist’s evocative work conjure varied images of the moon as a brilliant force, a mysterious beacon, and a luminous orb. Hazy Moonlight was commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University for the Bent Frequency Duo, and is dedicated to both with admiration and appreciation. The haiku appear with the author’s permission and are published in Modern Haiku, The Silence Between Us (Taylorville, IL: Brooks Books, 2005), and The Windbreak Pine (Ormskirk, UK: Snapshot Press, 2016.)"
