‘Solar’ Saxophone Quartet
for two alto, tenor and baritone saxophones
- Photovoltaic – Parker Spiral
- Sunstroke – Brightest Minds
This piece was inspired by our sun. The “Photovoltaic” section expresses the invigorating effect of a sunny day (or more literally, the process of creating power from light). “Parker Spiral” refers to the shape of the sun’s extended magnetic field. “Sunstroke” is a reminder of the dangers the sun can pose to us, and “Brightest Minds” celebrates the people who have discovered ways to harness the sun’s power for the benefit of humankind.
