To the Middle and Back
Composer: Chaffin, Lon
Instrumentation: Woodwind Quintet Instruments: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon
Genre: ContemporaryLon W. Chaffin says, “To the Middle and Back has five movements, each featuring different instruments. The first and fifth movements feature the flute and horn. The second and fourth movements highlight the oboe and bassoon, while the third movement stands alone, giving the clarinet the spotlight. The piece demonstrates a typical arch form… Thus, the title of the piece alludes to the formal structure… The melodic and harmonic vocabulary explore pentatonic and modal scale structures within both quartal/quintal and tertian vertical sonorities. The metrical forms are very traditional in the first two and last two movements, but the third demostrates oscillation between symmetrical and asymmetrical meters as well as an interweaving of the two.”

Doors
Composer: Chaffin, Lon
Instrumentation: Solo and String quartet Instruments: Cello, Tuba, Viola, Violin
Genre: Contemporarywith 2 Violins, Viola and Cello.
Doors is a set of four pieces, for string quartet and tuba, is based on photographs by Albuquerque photographer Jim Gale.
The first movement, Stone-Layered Maze, creates an atmosphere of mystery. The music moves as if through openings in a maze of layered stone walls. It incorporates the use of rocks as an additional sound source.
Old Leaning Lumber paints an aural picture of old, dilapidated wooden structures with open doors and windows. The music creaks, sways, and falls. The string players occasionally tap on their instruments to add a percussive wooden timbre.
The third movement is based on an eclectic collection of door photos from all types of structures, from all parts of town. Out About Town has the performers tapping the heels and toes of their shoes on the floor in this contrapuntal stroll with an asymmetrical meter.
Blue Door Blues is an actual blues tune inspired by the multitude of blue doors seen throughout the southwest United States. Even the blue church doors have their moment in the middle of the piece as the audience hears both an old-world chant and a gospel riff. The performers add to the mix with a few “cool” finger snaps.

Into the Void
Composer: Chaffin, Lon
Instrumentation: Brass Quintet Instruments: 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryInto the Void serves as a call to adventures; the commissioning and “sending forth” of brave travelers. It could bring to mind those historical or legendary moments when brave men and women have been summoned and send out on bold quests – whether to discover a new continent, to walk on the moon, or to travel beyond the stars. On a more musical note, this piece is basically a fanfare, march and chorale. Whether the performers and listeners search for the deep metaphorical meanings in the piece, or ponder the musical structure, I hope the journey is fun.

Faraway Nearby
Composer: Chaffin, Lon
Instrumentation: Duet and Piano Instruments: French Horn, Piano, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryHorn, and Tuba with Piano
Since the early 20th century, the art of Georgia O’Keefe has inspired, challenged and delighted us. Today, her connection to the Southwest is simply understood. The desert’s hills, sky, flowers and bones became a comfortable vocabulary with which she communicated. This music draws its creative breath from O’Keefe’s work. Each of the three movements (I. Bones, Blue and White, II. Hills, Red and Gray and III. Music, Pink and Blue) explores a subject common to her paintings. Each subject presents a dichotomy of color.

Vortex
Composer: Chaffin, Lon
Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Euphonium, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryComposer Lon W. Chaffin asks, “What is a Vortex? A basic definition would be a whirling mass of something, especially water or air, that draws everything near towards its center… such as that relatively mysterious occurrence in space that is often referred to as a black hole – a location in space where the gravitational pull is so powerful that everything, even light, is pulled into its center. That spacial anomaly and the concept of composing for a newly formed tuba ensemble became mingled in my mind and served to generate the ideas that have gone into this piece.”
