Holy Roller by Libby Larsen

This is the first movement from a 25 minute solo work for saxophone + piano which was written for- and premiered-by saxophonist Jeffery Kyle Hutchins and pianist Neil Nanyi Qiang, 6 March 2015 at Studio Z in St. Paul.  Zusammenfluss—a German word for “confluence” from the roots “Zussammen” (together) and  “Fluss” (river, flow)—is a work conceived as a dialog between differing modes of temporal perception.  Its central object is glimpsed on a multiplicity of time scales to form distinct streams of activity, combined and re-combined in turbulent flow, to explore notions of consonant and dissonant time.  It is the fourth installment in a cycle of German-titled duos and trios that form the basis of a large-scale chamber cycle to be completed in 2015.  Zusammenfluss was supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts, Anonymous.
