Description
Enchanted City for flute, clarinet & bassoon (2023) was the first piece I wrote in my new hometown of Santa Fe, NM. The name is a conglomerate of two popular New Mexico tourism slogans: the state is known as the Land of Enchantment , while Santa Fe likes to market itself as The City Different.
The 9-minute piece in 3 movements illustrates Santa Fe neighborhoods as well as the experience of taking in the spectacular New Mexico night sky.
1. Railyard is a tribute to the city's Railyard District, a vibrant section of town featuring museums, galleries, movie theaters, live music venues, restaurants and the wonderful Santa Fe Farmers Market.
2. Starstruck describes the calm that sets in when looking up to the Milky Way from an elevation of 7,000 feet.
3. Cielo Colorado is the name of the neighborhood we live in, a quiet place at the outskirts of town. The movement is upbeat and optimistic since our neighbors happen to be smart, interesting and good people.
