Alex Tedrow - Andisol (2025) for Saxophone and Piano

World premiere performed by Salvador Flores and Andrew Kosinski at Chesapeake Music, Ebenezer Theater in Eaton, MD Buy the piece here: https://www.alextedrow.com/andisol Notes: Andisol is commissioned by and dedicated to one of my closest friends, Salvador Flores. The piece was inspired by a hiking trip we took together to Iceland in 2024, during which we hiked near an actively erupting volcano and saw flowing lava for the very first time. In awe of the power of the volcano, we also reflected on the significance of the land we stepped on. Even amidst something so destructive, Earth was being made anew. Ground was being transformed into something that would later support new life beneath our feet. When Sal asked me to write a piece for him on the subject of new beginnings, I knew the music would need to reference our hiking trip in some way. “Andisol” is a type of fertile soil formed from volcanic ash, a fitting name for a piece that reflects on the constant cyclic nature of destruction and new beginnings. The music’s structure emphasizes dichotomies: dissonance and beauty, complexity and simplicity, and repeated familiar themes hidden beneath the surface of intense, dark, “eruption like” sound worlds to convey the piece’s theme. Remembering the incredible power and beauty of Iceland and looking back on the exhaustion and joy from such an intense hike with my best friend, Andisol holds incredible meaning to me as a musical representation of one of my fondest memories.
