| Programme notes: | Four Pieces for Three Players.
The title of my Terzetto distinguishes it from other works of mine for three players, several of which employ one or more saxophones (e.g. the Trio Estatico for alto and tenor saxophones and piano and the Lyric Trio for tenor saxophone, viola and piano). The subtitle indicates that the four movements were originally separate pieces (the middle two composed in 2001 and the others in 2002) later unified to emphasize their inherent contrasts of lyric and dynamic moods, and also the fact that four different performers share the dedication.
