Composed by Lea Detlefs. Concert,Contemporary,Standards,World. Score and parts. 3 pages. Lea Detlefs #6114259. Published by Lea Detlefs (A0.1016979).A wide ranging, effervescent piece great for a recital or encore. Cycles through the key of B flat, E flat, and E major. While originally for soprano sax, alto can also play the music as written and it will simply sound in a lower range from the recording. Trills, quick flourishes of ascending or descending scales, and bending of notes in the high range are some of the beautiful features of this music.
This piece was inspired by the many wonderful Indian classical music performances I was able to attend while living in Austin, TX. It is meant to sound like an improvisation, and at one point even invites the player to add their own improvisation. The melodic lines are meant to be evocative of the sitar, while the trills preceded or followed by a short staccato exclamation recall the energetic tabla. This piece is not derived from a raga, but the title pays homage to the idea in classical Indian music that the various raga each bring up certain feelings and associations in the minds of the audience, or in other words, "colour the mind".
