The
original orchestration
featured an interplay
between the supporting
clarinet, horn, and
strings, which Dorff felt
was lost in his first
piano reduction of the
Concerto. To restore that
aspect of the piece, he
has fashioned this
chamber ensemble version,
which uses the piano in
lieu of strings only.
Dorff explains, The
result yields a chamber
work that allows the
contrabassoonist an
opportunity to perform
the work on formal and
informal concert series,
enjoys the interaction of
an ensemble, is musically
complete, and has a
practical piano
part..

In 2014, I
enjoyed a wonderful
residence at the Ucross
Foundation in
Clearmont, Wyoming.
Ucross is an artist
colony that gives
writers, composers, and
visual artists
the gift of time,
space, and support to
follow their artistic
pursuits; we are provided
with studio space,
housing, and meals so
that we can work
continuously on our
projects. I have been
in residence at numerous
artist colonies; however,
nothing in my
previous experiences
prepared me for living in
such isolated, wild
country. Ucross is
situated on
a 20,000-acre cattle
ranch at nearly 4,000
feet in elevation with
fewer than 150
people living within
the town. But what
Clearmont lacks in
population, it makes up
for abundantly and
spectacularly in
wilderness and wildlife.
I composed the sextet
Postcards from Wyoming
to offer three glimpses
of what I found to be the
most striking aspects
of my residence. The
Solitude of Stars, the
third and final movement
of the original
sextet, was inspired
by the stunning nightly
display of the heavens
above. Without city
lights dimming the
night sky, countless
stars shone brightly over
the vast expanse of the
prairie. This edition
is part of The Solitude
of Stars Project that I
undertook during the
2020 COVID-19
pandemic, which consists
of a series of
arrangements that I made
for colleagues and

The
first time I saw
slipstreaming in action
with professional
cyclists, I was in awe.
The competitors were
riding inches away from
each other; when the lead
rider would swerve left
or right, the pursuers
would immediately follow
suit. The physics behind
what appears on the
surface to be sheer
daredevil antics are
quite solid: the cyclists
riding directly behind
the leader are
benefitting from reduced
air and wind resistance.
On a larger scale, a
peloton (the French term
for a pack of riders)
benefits multiple riders
whoare behind the leaders
of the pack. While riding
so close to other riders
carries great risk of
colliding, that risk is
outweighed by the benefit
of preserving
one’s
energy.Slipstream was
inspired by the love of
cycling shared by Haley
Hoops, horn, and Stephen
Ahearn, clarinet, for
whom the piece was
commissioned. They are
drawn to cycling for the
adventure of it, to
discover new places, and
to meet new people. Haley
also expressed her
enjoyment of taking solo
bike rides. Additionally,
I found great inspiration
in watching the daily
highlight videos of the
three-week 2020 Tour de
France, which happened to
be taking place while I
composed Slipstream.The
piece opens with The
Horizon Beckons. A
cyclist hears an enticing
call emanating from the
mountains, then the
cyclist starts pedaling
towards the mountains in
search of adventure.
Riding Solo, the second
movement, explores the
quiet of riding alone,
the beauty of the
landscape, and the
shifting of the light and
clouds, all while we hear
the bike’s wheels
in constant motion.
Adrenaline Rush, the
third and final movement,
depicts the heat of
competition. We hear the
constant jockeying of
cyclists within a peloton
as they slipstream with
each other and move with
the wind. At the very end
of the movement, we hear
sprinters race for the
finish line with
everything they have left
in their legs.
