abstract: Throughout history composers have used music to depict their perception of the
refugee experience. This project expands upon this idea through the commission and
recording of four new works for saxophone. The compositions are Different Arks for solo
alto saxophone by John Secunde, Rubble/Resolve for alto saxophone and piano by Jared
Yackiw, Emerging Light for soprano saxophone and vibraphone by Alan Hankers, and
Unam aeternam for solo alto saxophone and stereo playback by Ashlee Busch. For each
work, this project provides performance guides, biographical contexts, program notes,
and recordings. I hope to encourage artists to discover and facilitate creative ways to
draw attention to migration around the world and contribute to the fight against racism
and xenophobia. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020
