COMMISSIONED BY: Travis Scott
WORLD PREMIERE: May 3, 2017 | Alex Hoelzen (flute), Travis Scott (tuba) | Martin Luther Chapel, East Lansing, Michigan

Commissioned by Travis Scott near the very end of my undergraduate degree program at Michigan State University, this fun and quirky scherzo twists and turns both harmonically and rhythmically, balancing comedically moody scenes with light-hearted, dancing motion. My sincerest gratitude to Travis Scott and Alex Hoelzen for giving this piece a wonderful premiere.
