Joel Love-Solace, A Lyric Concerto: 2. Besieged

Joel Love-Solace: A Lyric Concerto for saxophone and wind ensemble. 2. Besieged Jeremy Koch, saxophone Larry Lang, conductor The United States Air Force Band, Washington, DC Notes from composer Joel Love based on David Whyte’s Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment, and Underlying Meaning in Words. In “Besieged,” the music expresses a darker sentiment. Whyte’s poem states that “Conscious or unconscious, we are surrounded not only by the vicissitudes of a difficult world but even more by those of our own making.” The saxophone is often pitted against or is competing back-and-forth with the wind ensemble, striving and fighting to overcome. The piece ends just after the climax and segues into the third movement, echoing Whyte’s sentiment that we must sometimes go through difficult challenges to be aware and grateful of what we have.
