About the work

Canon No. 4 contains elements of a traditional canon, but my greater creative focus is on its nature as a timbral canon. Because of the alternative fingers used for the same note, a canon of timbres can form within one instrumental part, with successive colors being applied to one pitch.

Written for Maya Stone and commissioned by Bang on a Can with support from Herb Leventer. Premiered at the Bang on a Can Marathon on February 21, 2021.
