Dedication
Program Notes
Sax Appeal was commissioned for the Amherst Saxophone Quartet by Summerfest, a music festival in Pittsburgh, for its tenth anniversary season. The score was completed in June, 1990, and the premiere took place that July. The work is in four movements: Set Up, Blues, Sarabande, and Jump; the second and third movements are played without pause. Sarabande, the third movement, began life as a piece for recorder quartet, but seemed equally at home in the world of the saxophone. Jazz is clearly the primary influence, as befitting the genre that brought this wonderful instrument into its own. The homogeneity of the instruments from top to bottom also helped shape my sound-world. I am grateful to my friends of the Transcontinental Saxophone Quartet, not only for this disc, but for bringing the music to audiences throughout the U.S. and Europe, giving it more performances than any of my other pieces has had. --David Stock
