2024 Saxophone Consortium

About the Work:

Working Title: Perseverance

We face difficult times throughout our lives. At the end of these difficult times, we find a release from them. During these difficult times, we persevere to see the better times.

Perseverance will be for solo alto saxophone with modular accompaniment. The modular accompaniment options are  as follows:

  • Piano

  • Stereo fixed media

  • Percussion quartet

This work can exist as one of three formats. The saxophone part is the same regardless of the accompaniment, but the different accompaniment options allows for the saxophone part to persevere in different contexts.

The duration of the final work will be 8-12 minutes
