Hot Spots was commissioned by Duo Del Sol, a married couple committed to expanding the repertoire for the ripe combination of English Horn and Bb Clarinet. Dorffs inspiration came from the duos explanation of their name: We like vacationing where its sunny! That image and the groups Spanish name led to a Caribbean influence throughout the work. The movement titles are I. Sunsplash, II. On the Beach, and III. The Bee and the Horseshoe Crab.
Performance duration (approx): 24
