Program Notes
In this work, I tried to push the chamber music genre to the limits; in solos I extended the time and forms of elaboration for each instrument. However, there is a gravitational center in the form of excerpts where the instruments dialogue, challenge and rework the solo materials. This balance point is challenged with the improvisation given to the Saxophone, and from this tension, I created a form whose conclusion is vague, but clearly conciliatory.
