The second selection from my Graduate Composition Recital was performed by Mr. Christopher Dickhaus, Professor of Saxophone at UNI. He approached me to write a composition for alto saxophone and piano back in the fall of 2017. I took up the offer and was struggling to create a title for this new work. While talking to one of my friends about my dilemma she offered the word utopy, which means a perfect place or idea or very closely related to the word utopia. I fell in love with the word and decided to create this composition surrounding the idea of a utopia. This is not written to exalt the utopian ideal but to create a soundscape of what a utopia would sound like. This work was  premiered at the March 2018 regional NASA (North American Saxophone Alliance) convention at CCM in Cincinnati, OH.
