LOST CHILD, FOR SOLO BASS
Xavier Foley
(b. Marietta, GA, August 9, 1994)
Composed 2021; 3 minutes
This is an attractive, blues-colored etude, combining a haunting lyrical melody with complex double and triple-stopped chords. “A lost child is a scary thing,” Xavier says. “The piece is not beautiful; it’s not sad. It’s kind of in the middle . . . anxious.”
