I. Colors at Blazing Speeds II. Spirals of Color
III. Colors that Dance
For Saxophone Quartet
By David Werfelmann

Movements: I. Colors at Blazing Speeds………………….................................page 1 II. Spirals of Color………………………………………………......page 18 III. Colors that Dance………………………………………………..page 24
Instrumentation: Soprano Saxophone Alto Saxophone Tenor Saxophone Baritone Saxophone Duration:
ca. 16 minutes About the Piece: The first movement of Hypercolor, Colors at Blazing Speeds, is fast-paced and changes meter frequently. It also employs the instruments so that each has a soloistic moment at some point while the others drive the sixteenth-note pulse. The second movement, Spirals of Color, is slow and expressive and is somewhat palindromic in form. Colors that Dance, the final movement, is a perpetual motion piece in which the sixteenth notes never let up until the last few bars of music. In contrast with the first movement, this piece frequently modulates its tonal-center, bringing a fresh sound the ear with each new key.
About the Composer: Born in Portland, OR, David Werfelmann (b. 1983) received a B.M. in music composition and percussion performance from the Lawrence Conservatory in Appleton, WI. His composition teachers include Joanne Metcalf, Forrest Pierce, Jennifer Fitzgerald, and P.Q. Phan, and he studied percussion with Dane Richeson and Julie Spencer. His works have been performed by, among others, The Hilliard Ensemble, the Lawrence University Saxophone Quartet, and the Lawrence Symphony Orchestra. David’s work Ball Bearings received an honorable mention in the international Quey Percussion Duo Composition Contest and his saxophone quartet Hypercolor won the James Ming Scholarship at the Lawrence Conservatory. He has participated in the Zeltsman Marimba Festival, the CSU Fresno Summer Arts program, and the IES Vienna music workshop in Vienna, Austria. Recently, David served as assistant director with the up-and-coming new music ensemble Friends of Rain in Portland, OR. David is currently a student at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University in Bloomington working towards a master’s degree in music composition.
