Product Description

Ancient Airs (2004) for solo soprano saxophone was written for and is dedicated to
saxophonist Paul Wehage. It is in two movements, each with a spirit of "ancient airs"
re-imagined in a modern context. The ancestry of most woodwind instruments as folk
instruments is the inspiration for the work's concept. The piece should always be
played with a lyrical, singing approach.
Beyond the Mountain uses as its basic musical material a simple transformation of a
modal melody in D minor. Gradually tones are added borrowed from other
modalities. The opening section is slow and lyrical. The middle section is more
active -- contrasting the D minor chord tones with the added diminished tones of the
first section. The final section recalls the material of the opening with a wider
transformation.
Forgotten Incantation uses a wider modal language than the first movement.
Although still generally slow and song-like, it is more energetic. Energetic gestures
interrupt and drive the song narrative forwards.
