Composition for large ensemble (saxophone section, with strings, brass, woodwinds, and rhythm section). The fifty-one measure score in the Julius Hemphill Papers includes the subtitle “Sketch II,” which is the title for movements in the large-scale pieces “Ralph Ellison’s Long Tongue” and “Long Tongues: A Saxophone Opera.” There are various annotations indicating orchestration, backgrounds, and ways in which the material is to be extended through improvisation. The archive also includes a full set of parts, not professionally copied, and not in holograph.
