Escapades
Soprano Saxophone and Orchestra 2222 - 221(btbn)0 - timp, hp (amp.) - soprano sax solo - strings
Composer's NOTE: "During the times of Covid when the world seemed to be closed and there was scarce live music to hear, I escaped by composing Escapades for soprano saxophone and orchestra. Between mid- 2020 and early 2021 three movements emerged as scenes of life through this unusual time. The first movement On the Town depicts a festive public life with its energy and lyricism. The mood of the music changes abruptly with Quiet Streets, a lamentation that lingers in the music space. City Lights brings back a sense of joy and elation as the concerto concludes with a spirit of reckless abandon. Throughout the piece the unique and alluring sound of the soprano saxophone weaves its way through and above the colors of the orchestral tapestry. I composed the concerto for Christopher Creviston, one of the premiere saxophone artists of our time with gratitude he includes this piece among the many concertos written for him. Escapades is dedicated to his daughter, Ziva Creviston." "‹-- John Anthony Lennon
