Program Notes
This thoughtful ballad starts with a soft, lushly scored full ensemble A section, contrapuntal B section, a return to the A section, then on to an alto sax solo. After a modulation to the B section and brief sax soli, the ballad builds to an exhilarating finale. Very playable with great teaching opportunities.
