Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano

From the Publisher

A three-movement work; the first movement opens with a tense and dynamic statement before relaxing into a groove. Much of the thematic material that follows is taken from the opening fragments. A saxophone cadenza announces the second movement, which is all about sparseness, space and restraint. The opening of the final movement was influenced by the French school of composers that have written for flute and saxophone (pieces written in the mid 20th century). The same theme then enters several different stylistic worlds before crashing into a ‘flashback’ section where snippets of the Sonata are stated.
