Crossover Suite No. 1 comprises of five stylistically very diverse movements. 1. Introduction: A brisk opening leads to a bass groove on baritone saxophone. Various animated stylistic elements such as finger snaps are contrasted with 'straighter' elements familiar from march music. 2. Viennese Waltz: A waltz in a minor key, with the characteristic and unmistakable accompaniment in the Viennese style. 3. Roundabout: Roundabout is a rondo with recurring motifs and a point of rest in the adagio. 4. Stomps and Claps: As the name suggests, the work is performed with the help of hands and feet. Body percussion alternates with technically demanding passages. 5. Finale: A rapid final movement with a dolce middle part leads to a furious closing section with changes of meter and some dynamic surprises. Each movement can also stand on its own, but when performed as a complete suite this compositition shows off the full breadth and capability of a saxophone quartet.

There is more light in this room when you are here is a fervently optimistic mood piece embodying the core themes of my song cycle The Lustful Mother. The title refers to another person - maybe a lover, child or friend - whose existence makes life more meaningful. In the first movement, the music wanders through the twilight, and the solitary recitation of the tenor sax is framed by answering sighs from the soprano and alto. In the second movement, the full quartet joins in the same hopeful song, that, endlessly swaying and discreetly circling, fills the whole space with its light. The work was commissioned by the Arcis Saxophone Quartet, to which it is dedicated.
