4 Mantras For Saxophone Quartet. Par SCHNEIDER ENJOTT. Panta rhei - tout est dans un état de flux ' est la ligne de fond de ce qu'en pense le philosophe grec Heraclitus. ' Tout est dans un Etat continuel de flux et de changement ' - lui, c'était ' logos ', ordre rationnel. Il est à l'interface entre la pensée personnelle et rituel archaïque que les quatre mantras pour quatuor de saxophones ont été créés. Dans l'hindouisme et le bouddhisme, ' mantras ' sont sacrées phrases, les messages clés, les ' instruments de pensée et d'expression '. Ils étaient adressées à des divinités comme une forme de culte et de mode de concentration et consistent principalement en des mots et des syllabes continuellement répétés. Dans cet esprit, chaque mouvement dans ' Panta rhei ' a été donné à un motif principal (surtout un geste base rythmique) qui est répété dans les variations et les cycles mais toujours différemment - dans un perpétuel état du flux.

Watermelon Sugar. Watermelon Sugar was the summer hit of the year 2020. It is a song by the British singer-songwriter Harry Styles, who felt inspired by the title of the American novel In Watermelon Sugar (1968) by Richard Brautigan. The melody of the chorus had already taken form during ?Live on Tour?, the debut tour that Styles embarked on in September 2017, finishing in July the following year. On a free day, Harry and his band went to The Cave Studio in Nashville, where they created the chorus melody. It is said that the song is about Styles? ex-girlfriend Camille Rowe. Seb Skelly arranged this catchy tune for saxophone quartet as a lasting memory of the extraordinary year 2020.

Inthe early afternoon of 5th January 1993 I was informed that my friend and business manager Tony Simmons had died after a long and heroic fight against cancer. I immediately sat down and wrote the music which became the fourthsong in what became a 'memorial' quartet. The previously composed music was scrapped as I decided to give each player in turn an 'aria' of his own.The first song is a transcription of an actual song - 'Mozart onMortality' - which I wrote for the Composers Ensemble in the spring of 1992. The text by Mozart himself is all too appropriate: 'I may not see another day'. The second song is adapted from the music for the scene in JaneCampion's film The Piano where the mute Ada (Holly Hunter) pushes her chief means of communication her piano overboard. This film was the last major deal that Tony negotiated on my behalf. The third song a soprano sax solo isbased on a tune I composed some years ago but was saving for a special occasion.' - Michael Nyman
