The composer wrote her trio for the Haydn celebrations in Eisenstadt in 2009. Inspired by the information that Haydn had wanted the slow movement of his Funeral Symphony No. 44 for his funeral, Kats-Chernin, in order to connect with her illustrious predecessor, drew on Haydn's rich wealth of motifs and composed a free fantasia on them, with an extended sustained passage. In the end, however, lively rhythmic finesse gains the upper hand, as is typical of both composers. Calliope is not only the muse of string playing and elegy, but also a fairground steam organ, so that the contrasting spheres are also captured in the title.

About Suzuki Method

The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music.

Saxophone Quartet was composed especially for presentation at the Montana Saxophone Festival and is dedicated to the festival's director, saxophonist Brooke Ferris. The first movement, Calliope, juxtaposes mechanized rhythmic patterns against legato, lyric melodies. The second movement, Chorale, explores homophonic, harmonic textures which alternate with lyric and contrapuntal passages, and was adapted from a short work composed for saxophone quartet in 1975. The last movement is a fugue.

Movements: Calliope * Chorale * Fugue.
