Incursion?is
a collaboration between
composer Sean O'Loughlin
and the students of the
Westport, Connecticut
Public Schools. Inspired
by the students' desire
for a dark and scary
sounding piece,
O'Loughlin created
aggressive rhythmic
figures that set the tone
of the piece with a dark
and foreboding melody in
the lower strings.? The
piece develops through
various contrasting
sections and and use of
col legno, which students
will enjoy playing.
Incursion was commissioned by
the Westport, Connecticut
Public Schools for the
Bedford Middle School 6th
Grade Orchestra, Anthony
Granata, director. It is
a piece influenced by
many ideas from the
students, including a
desire for a dark- and
scary-sounding piece. The
collaboration process on
commissions like this are
very rewarding for both
the students and
composer.
The piece begins
with an aggressive
rhythmic idea that sets
the tone for the
composition. The lower
strings enter with a
foreboding and dark
melody that carries on
this feeling. The upper
strings then split into
counterpoint with the
lower strings at m. 17.
The counterpoint splits
into three parts at m.
25, which culminates in a
return to the opening
rhythmic figure at m. 33.
A
contrasting slow section
features some lush and
haunting passages.
Measure 54 brings the
opening rhythmic figure
back again, but this time
includes an optional col
legno technique. A
recapitulation of the
counterpoint and
subsequent development
follows. Measure 83
brings back the opening
rhythmic idea one more
time to conclude with a
rousing
finish.
