Helios is a short three movement work for saxophone quartet.
It is based on the movement of the summer sun and each movement a particular time of day.
12:47 relates to the midday sun and the 'feelgood' energy of a busy city.
16:18 represents a lazy summer afternoon with the warm sun and a gentle breeze where the world seems to slow down.
21:12 is a fast paced final movement depicting a fiery red sunset and was inspired by the late night events of Irish music festivals where dancing often continues into the early morning.
