Around the Bend was commissioned by and written for Flexible Music, an ensemble consisting of Tim Ruedeman, saxophones, Daniel Lippel, guitar, Haruka Fujii, percussion, and Eric Huebner, piano. I had been very impressed by their performances of works they commissioned from mostly young composers, and I wanted to write a piece that would showcase their liveliness, rhythmic energy, and ensemble virtuosity. The piece is a single movement, about ten minutes long, marked Capriccioso.
First performance:
