THE
WHITE HORSE explores the
idea of extremes,
composed to shine a light
on the musicianship and
raw virtuosity of the
performer above any other
of its properties. Pann
writes that he was
inspired by a 1980s dance
music video whose energy
expresses “the effect
of a drug-induced
euphoric frenzy in its
seeming randomness at
times, but also in its
immediate back-and-forth
between pyrotechnics and
more subdued, blissed
moments.” . THE
WHITE HORSE is a
single-movement solo for
alto saxophone which
explores the idea of
extremes. My greatest
hope is that it shines a
light on the musicianship
and raw virtuosity of the
performer above any other
of its properties. When
I was first asked to
write this work, my
thoughts went to a 1983
music video by the Danish
band, Laid Back. Their
song “White Horse” is
about using (or riding)
the drug heroin. In this
way, I wanted to write a
single-movement piece
that has the effect of a
drug-induced euphoric
frenzy in its seeming
randomness at times, but
also in its immediate
back-and-forth between
pyrotechnics and more
subdued, blissed moments.
Also, I simply like the
phrase “The White
Horse” and think it
will lend the work some
appropriate intrigue.
