Tangle is music of rapid twists and turns. As phrases repeat, they expand, contract, accelerate, and transform, creating kaleidoscopic changes in color and content. Non sequiturs abound, as one idea builds to a peak and then vanishes, replaced by another thought. The use of collage intensifies as the piece continues; in the penultimate section, five different types of material are juggled in a rapid succession.

Tangle is gratefully dedicated to Lisa Cella and Franklin Cox.
