3 Pieces for solo sax
The 3 Pieces may be played either by themselves, in sets of two, or all three together. The order should be decided by the performer, to suit their programme.
1am: 'A lonely man, on the New York Sub-way, playing his saxophone - not for money, but for himself. No one else is around and it is 1am'
This was the original programme note for this piece, originally written in 1999, whilst I was studying at the RNCM. Initially conceived as a work for solo soprano saxophone, it has been re-written to be played on any saxophone. The piece is now a much freer work, and more in resonance with the original conception.
Performers should feel free to experiment with electronic effects (such as reverb, etc.) or adding a tape/cd part.
1am is dedicated to Kenji Fenton.
èlègie: was written in the summer of 2004. It was originally conceived as part of a larger work for solo soprano saxophone and choir. The piece was conceived almost totally choir, with just the saxophone playing the elegie as a solo in the middle of the piece.
dawn song: for Saxophone was written in October 2004 as a sister piece to 1AM and èlègie. It takes some of the structural, harmonic, rhythmic and melodic elements from the first two pieces, and blends it into a new and different piece, but still retaining some of the key elements of the music.
dawn song is dedicated to Andy Scott.
