Details: | Saxophone soloist, Strings and Winds | Piano reduction also available. Both versions published by Advance Music Publishing via Kendor Music.
Can be performed either with any size string orchestra and winds (set includes 8,6,4,4,4,4 strings and 2 set of woodwind parts), or with string sextet (2 violins, 2 violas, cello, bass) and woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, bassoon). |
Programme notes: | A three-movement piece which combines orchestral vocabulary with a variety of groove oriented music such as Latin, jazz, and American folk music. The first two movements, allegro moderato and lento, showcase the lyrical side of the saxophone. The third movement, allegro molto, involves a good deal of virtuosity and requires improvisational skills over modal chords. |
