THE MUSIC OF CHRISTOPHER  ALAN SCHMITZ

RHAPSODY  FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO
Picture

Rhapsody presents technical and lyrical opportunities for both instruments, developing and combining a small number of motives.  Quasi-romantic in style. It is essentially a tonal composition (in G minor) that expands upon traditional harmony by means of shifting polychordal relationships.
   7-04

FIVE MINIATURES  FOR ALTO SAXOPHONE AND MALLET PERCUSSION
Picture

​Each of these five miniatures documents an impression associated with a particular location at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia.  On the surface, listen for depictions of a grand plaza, blinding zephyrs, flowing water, trains, nocturnal "phantoms," and insect-related anxiety; beyond those depictions, try to hear the composer's attempt to build a musical context in which each event can be experienced and contemplated with special significance.

Picture
