Composed by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. Set of Score and Parts. 52+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+8+8+8+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+8 pages. Duration 11 minutes, 30 seconds. Merion Music #145-40036. Published by Merion Music (PR.145400360).ISBN 9781491137604. UPC: 680160691050.
A major addition to the saxophone concerto repertoire, Zwilich’s three-movement work is inspired by her early experience playing in big bands, along with a love of rich textures and driving rhythms interrupted by striking silences. The centerpiece slow movement is scored for only the soloist and the ensemble’s sax section, with all other players tacet. A large-size full score, and a solo part with piano, are available separately.
