Elegy Cadenza

Description

For Solo Alto Saxophone and Concert Band The opening section is free and segues to a lyrical and mournful melody, that also segues to another cadenza, followed by the finale-a fast bop style section. It portrays emotions of loss and celebration, and the cherishing of many memories. The phrasing, alternating meters, glisses and pitch bending, and wide performance range provide interest and challenges for the soloist. Elegy Cadenza, performed by the composer, can be heard on SaxSpectrum MSR Classics (MS 1328).�(6:30)
