A concerto for alto saxophone and wind ensemble, with versions for saxophone and piano or orchestra. The work draws on Carl Sandburg’s poem of the same name and the composer’s experience of loss in his family. Long sliding gestures evoke lament, while sudden swells suggest the sound of reversed tape playback.
The SoundCloud wind ensemble recording is complete. The linked Garde républicaine video is slightly abridged, as identified on the composer’s page.
