In Memory of Allen Strange for sextet - Score and Parts PDF
From the composer:
In memory of Allen Strange was written for the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble. These two movements are dedicated to my former teacher Allen Strange (b.1943 d.2008). His passing made me reflect upon various memories of him at San José State University where I worked with him as a student in 1997. Allen once claimed that all of his pieces had the tune "Over The Rainbow" hidden somewhere in them--this was a kind of game for him. Much of the material for my piece was generated out of this melody: almost all of the string material and much of the percussion and other parts are permeated with its contours.
