Works for Saxophone

Apart from my works for symphonic band, I have only written one chamber work that includes an alto saxophone. It is an instrument which intrigues me. I hope to write more music for the saxophone.

 

1. Prelude and Fugue After Bach, Op. 44c (1997)

This is an arrangment for Alto Saxophone and Piano of my work Prelude and Fugue After Bach. The piece utilizes the first prelude and fugue from Bach's Well-tempered Klavier. This sound quality of the alto saxophone adds a certain poingnancy to this work.
