Diametrically, the Same - for Tenor Saxophone and Percussion (2018) 

Diametrically, the Same
Composed by Nick Heilborn (b.1998)
Performed by Emily Groff and Kenny Swartout
for Tenor Saxophone, Marimba, Vibraphone, and Kick Drum
Diametrically, the Same is an exploration of opposites coming to confluence: the wooden marimba and reed meet the metallic vibraphone and brass; the saxophone as a percussive instrument against the lyrical mallets; and the juxtaposition of classical and jazz music all saxophonists and percussionists are faced with. Who said classical music can't be fun and inviting?
Premiered February 24th, 2019
Recorded February 26th, 2019 in the Steve and Judy Turner Recital Hall at the Blair School of Music.
