Icefire for alto saxophone and band was originally written for alto sax and piano in the winter of 2000. A brutal ice storm hit our house and knocked out the power for several days. During this time, by the light of our fireplace, I began this work, hence the name Icefire. I sent this work to my saxophone mentor, Dr. Jackie Lamar and she premiered this work at the 2000 Region 4 North American Saxophone Alliance Conference. Later that year, Dr. Lamar sent me a CD of the performance and a quick note saying -You should orchestrate this for band.- After 5 years, I have completed her request. I dedicate this composition Dr. Lamar and her continuing support of my compositions
