Evan Ziporyn is known both as a composer and bass clarinetist. He's been teaching that instrument for years, and he says the act of teaching and playing along with his students got him thinking of drill sergeants: how they always seem to be working just as hard as their recruits, running along with them, exhorting and cajoling, but never really asking them to do things he himself couldn't or wouldn't do. Thus, "Drill" is the name of the work by Ziporyn that Steve Seel features on this week's show.
