Program Note: "Memories Painted in Color” for Alto Saxophone and Piano (2024) is written based on the elicit reaction that including color can bring to any medium. The title comes from reading through multiple color theory and the psychology of color articles when beginning a recent collaboration with an animator. Memories Painted in Color depicts the change from black and white film to our standard color palette, matching everyday life.
