To Be Neither Proud Nor Ashamed takes its title from Cecil Forsyth’s description of the saxophone in his 1913 orchestration text as having no history “of which to be either proud or ashamed”. The piece was composed and developed in collaboration with saxophonist Randall Hall, the electronic part being the result of many hours of private recording sessions exploring his unique timbral pallet.
A score for To Be Neither Proud Nor Ashamed is available here. Note that the format is from a hand manuscript and contains a very large second page, printable onto two 11×17 pages. For ease of performance, a hard copy is available upon request.
