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.
