When Caleb Hudson approached me to write something for his ensemble, I was in the midst of exploring a particular creative process that involved writing short linear compositions on the saxophone that I call "vignettes." While most are written for solo saxophone, No. 20 and 21 were written specifically for Caleb's ensemble. I enjoyed starting with a linear concept, then expanding it to more voices––as if I were taking a Bach Cello Suite, and expanding the implied voices within it to fit a chamber quintet. The pitch bends and pristine melodies of "Vignette No. 20" showcase Caleb's delicacy and his penchant for beauty. Im 2022, I arranged the piece for Caleb to perform as a trumpet & piano duet.
