CONCERT & CONTEST
He Colliding Visions—Brian Balmages. A beautiful
melody and lovely suspensions open this well-
written work. Playful themes then set the tone for
a bright allegro section. The two styles collide as
the allegro abruptly ends and the opening theme
returns, then fades to a whisper.

intonation, and dynamic shading.

4e Tangents—Michael Oare. The term "tangent"
appears in geometry, art, and language - it
can describe lines, shapes, or thoughts that
connect or touch but do not cross or overlap.

and legato themes along with an underlying
rhythmic ostinate to create an unsettled feeling -
a suspenseful sense of "going off on a tangent."
