City View
for saxophone quartet
1996-99
City View was commissioned by the Danish Saxophone Quartet with
financial support for KODA. The work is in a single movement but falls
into three sections. The first and last sections are fast and rhythmic
while the middle section consists of long, gradually changing sustained
chords with multiphonics, which enable each player to play 2-3 note
chords. All four saxophone parts are equally important and virtuosic.
The work was inspired by the vibrancy and tension of an evening in
Manhattan.
