City Streets
for saxophone quartet and percussion
1996-2000
City Streets is a revised version of City View with the addition of two
percussionists. 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.
