An intriguing piece with well-placed dissonance, Kevin Mixon's Dark Visions truly sets a dark mood to build the tension. This work also incorporates the element of aleatoric, or chance music, making this work interesting and unpredictable for students and audiences alike.
This piece was written to evoke as much suspense, mystery, and bravura as possible. The non-traditional playing techniques will be new for most young players, but well within their technical abilities.In addition to the techniques in the score, feel free to experiment with other sounds during the aleatoricmiddle section that might contribute to the dark ambience of the music.Be sure to observe accents to help realize the percussive nature of the recurring rhythm in the bass line. Similarly, the gradual increase in dynamics at the beginning and end of the piece will add suspense. Most of all, have fun with the “dark visions” you create at your performance!
