Incursion

Incursion is a collaboration between composer Sean O'Loughlin and the students of the Westport, Connecticut Public Schools. Inspired by the students' desire for a dark and scary sounding piece, O'Loughlin created aggressive rhythmic figures that set the tone of the piece with a dark and foreboding melody in the lower strings.  The piece develops through various contrasting sections and use of col legno, which students will enjoy playing.
