Evensong for tuba and electronics was composed in 1995 for tubist Scott Mendoker. The title references the Anglican church service of the same name, suggesting a contemplative and reverent atmosphere. The work presents the tuba in a serious, lyrical manner, celebrating the instrument's beauty and expressive depth.
The electronic accompaniment evolves over time, providing motivic material that develops in counterpoint with the tuba's voice. The overall aesthetic is meditative and introspective, inviting listeners into a space of quiet reflection. An important work in the contemporary tuba repertoire.
