Sonata
for Alto Saxophone (2003) - This piece was written for Dariusz Samol
and
premiered by him at The Festival of New Music in Szamotuly, Poland in
2004. The first movement uses a rhythmic first theme followed by
a lyrical second theme that has a jazz flavor over a walking bass line.
The development section uses motives from the first theme only and the
recapitulation states the themes in reverse order. The second movement
alternates between a dramatic statement and a lyrical melody with lush
harmony. The last movement is in a modified rondo form with a lot of
rhythmic drive and chromaticism. Duration 12:00 Grade 4
