Run is a tribute of sorts to one of my favourite television shows, Doctor Who. The themes and motifs throughout the piece are inspired by the work of composer Murray Gold who wrote for the show after its reboot in 2005. This piece was written for a composition contest at Colorado State University, where it won first prize. The theme of the contest was "perpetual motion," and the idea of The Doctor always running quickly came to mind.
The instrumentation for Run is a bit irregular, but any of the instruments can be switched out as long as the voices remain the same. For example, the crotales can be switched for a glockenspiel and the winds can be rearranged for a woodwind quintet with the alto being replaced with an oboe and the bassoon playing the marimba part.
