PROGRAM NOTE
Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano was written for saxophonist Maria Dessena. Each of its four movements navigate a different terrain. The insistent rhythm of the first movement gives way to a lilting twelve-tone tune in the second. The third movement is a meditation on skip and steps, and the fourth sums things up, quoting from the other three before evolving into something new.
