Hexed I. Enchantment II. Ritual Dance alto saxophone and piano 1999 duration 7’’30” Hexed for alto saxophone and piano is a two movement work that makes use of various serial techniques. The principle governing the piece as a whole is as follows: the chromatic scale is divided into two six-note cells and these cells are set against one another. The methods by which these two cells are set against one another provide one of the many contrasts between the two movements. The second movement of Hexed was premiered by saxophonist Phil Bravo and Ed Martin in Gainesville, FL on 3/23/1999. The entire piece was premiered by saxophonist Javier Oviedo and Ed Martin in Austin, TX on 4/14/2000. Listen to a live recording of by saxophonist James Romaine and Ed Martin. Movement I.
