On The Hill
Instrumentation: Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, French Horn, Bassoon
Difficulty: Easy/Moderate
Duration: 7’
On The Hill was inspired by my experience at Crouse college at Syracuse University. Crouse college is situated on a hill that oversees much of campus. Sitting on this hill, you can hear the sounds of Syracuse: birds chirping, car horns, wind blowing and the chimes sounding from the bell tower. When first writing this piece I wanted to portray the sounds I heard very literally, but as the piece grew my interpretation of what this piece was about became much more abstract. The piece became more about what I felt, and less about what I heard. You can feel this change as the piece grows, starting very literally and growing to be much more abstract and emotional, before coming back to the literal sounds at the very end.
