I Want to Scream Until I drown the Sea

Score

I Want to Scream is an anxiety piece that uses a series of almost hyperbolic gestures against a background of unrelenting serenity and swirling textures as a means of conveying the at-odds feeling of trying to gain steady footing in a wave of intense emotion.

This piece was written at the end of 2021 for flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, bassoon, and piano
