David Froom
David Froom is an American composer and college professor. His music has been described as “intensely dramatic yet deeply formal,” "intellectually engaging, explosive with imagination and with a satisfying visceral power," balancing “diatonic pastoralism with acerbic angularity, Stravinskian rhythmic urgency with lyrical counterpoint.” Among his most critically acclaimed works are "Circling," Sonata for Solo Violin, 2nd Piano Trio, and Amichai Songs. Among his most frequently performed music is his saxophone music, which includes a saxophone quartet, "Flying High" for solo alto saxophone, "Turn of Events" for alto saxophone and piano, "Arirang Variations" for alto saxophone, bassoon, and piano, and "Before the Dawn" for alto saxophone and piano. He has also arranged his flute/clarinet duet, "Circling" for two saxophones. These, and all of his works, are published by the American Composers Alliance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://composers.com/david-froom )〕 Froom has taught at the University of Utah, the Peabody Institute and the University of Maryland, College Park.
