Product details

While not strictly programmatic in nature, Tangent is a kind of musical analogy of distraction and getting carried away with oneself. As the melodic and harmonic themes develop across the five movements, the orchestra begins to personify someone who is easily side-tracked, trying in earnest to articulate a simple idea amidst a flurry of interruptions and diversions. In some moments, the orchestra is the thought. Sometimes, it is the tangent. At other times, it is both simultaneously. The listener can decide whether the original idea or pervasive distractions prevail, but hopefully, the conversation is more interesting than the outcome.
