The title HUMMINGBIRD BANTER (2023) oboe and soprano saxophone duo stems from the commissioners request for a composition with that figuration that also reflects nature, specifically pollination or pollinators.

The formal structure is based on binary code, using the word “hum”. Marked Vivace and dotted quarter note equals 112-116, The 0 sections are mostly homophonic and homorthythmic settings, with melodies and motives using fast note passages of eighth notes in compound duple meter, alluding to hummingbirds. The 1 sections are contrapuntal, with frequent hocketing.
