This piece was performed at the SCI Concert at the University of Florida in Gainesville on March 24, 2013. Separation is the fourth of six movements. It was performed by Don Paul Kahl on Saxophone, Garrett Hecker on percussion, Samantha Webster on clarinet, and Jennifer Thompson on flute. 

I dedicated this piece to Amanda Barrow. It is reflective of a cyclical journey that is familiar to many, but the details of the journey change from person to person, and from situation to situation. The six different movements reflect different genres of music. The fourth movement, Separation, is a work using twelve-tone techniques. This is juxtaposed against a polytonal "memory" of the melody from Articulation.
