Encounters IX was commissioned by Baylor University for David Hastings and Larry Vanlandingham. It was premiered July 9, 1982 at the International Saxophone Congress in Nuremburg, Germany by Hastings and Vanlandingham. The work is in one continuous movement with a variety of sections within. As with the other works in my Encounters series, particularly those involving solo percussion and an instrument, the attempt is draw out the relationships as well the differences between the two soloists. This means that sometimes the percussion will be melodic and sometimes the saxophone will be percussive. The rest of the time they will be doing their own thing. --William Kraft.
