Ab ovo

SKU: SU.80101273

Ab ovo for alto saxophone and two organists (one organ) was awarded the prize in the Polish National Composer’s Competition in Warsaw, Poland (1988). The work is a one movement composition written originally for a three manual organ. The musical language of the piece employs an alternation of quasi-baroque motifs and polyphony (organ part) with more avant-garde texture (cluster-like chords). The saxophone part is very free in its dramatic and lyrical expression, and is full of different techniques often influenced by associations with jazz (fast repetitions, glissandi, and aleatoric passages). The sales set contains a bound score for the organ and a single-leaf score for the saxophonist. 25 pages Published by: Zimbel Press.
