Night Winds
(solo/low)
Composer: Lionel Bourne
Product code:
B0904
Publisher: Brixton Publications
£30.00
Description
The title of this highly dramatic work is suggestive of the dark and somber quality of the themes and textures used throughout. The Alto Saxophone has been added to the traditional Woodwind Quintet and is treated as an integral member of the group. This composition is cyclic in form and is in a multi-sectional single movement: there are three slow sections that alternate with two faster ones. Night Winds was completed in 1994 and is dedicated to the musicians that premiered it: by Ronald Waln, flute, Dwight Manning, oboe, Theodore Jahn, clarinet, Jean Martin horn, William Davis, bassoon, and Ken Fischer, alto sax
