In early 2021, I started having lessons on blues harmonica. Inspired by the incomparable genius of Sonny Terry, one of the things I worked on was fox chases. Fox chases are one of the many semi-improvised genres of harmonica composition that grew out of the instrument’s uncanny ability to imitate extramusical sounds: roosters, babies crying, train whistles and all sorts of other things. It was the patterns, gestures and relentless energy of the harmonica fox chase that inspired this music of mine. As I started working on the material, I became aware of the similarities between this genre of early twentieth century harmonica music and the caccia of fourteenth century Europe. The latter became manifest in the canonic imitation that runs throughout this duet.

Riverside Fox Chase is dedicated to my harmonica teacher, Steve Lockwood, in thanks for his wonderful teaching.
