Helios is a short three movement work for originally written for saxophone quartet and arranged for reed quintet by Sean Hayes.
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.
