During a time period of my life, from 2014 through 2016, I spent much of my time commuting to and from New York City as well as within New York City. Hurry Up - Wait, is a reflection of time spent during various time periods within my typical daily schedule. Although the music is not designed to tell a story, each movement of the piece is meant to reflect different moods and emotions that I have come to associate with the idea of my own personal "New York Minute." Hurry Up - Wait was originally written for the Washington Square Winds (woodwind quintet) and later adapted/revised for a clarinet ensemble.
