  1. Kazumo Asai : Textures for Saxophone Quartet

    Swift
    Resonant
    Quadrilateral
    Panoramic
    Fluid

    While made of brass but played with a mouthpiece, saxophones produce very distinct and expressive sounds like no other instrument.  In this work, consisting of five miniature pieces, I explore how this unique instrument family can create a variety of characters and textures.
