"Saxophone Quartet" mvt. II, David Froom | West Point Band

West Point Band: Fault Lines Saxophone Quartet, mvt. II, David Froom West Point Saxophone Quartet Each of the three movements of David Froom's "Saxophone Quartet" blends different aspects of our rich and complicated American legacy, the combination of imported (and locally developed) European traditions with our homegrown ideas. The Quartet's first movement combines the repetitive structures of minimalism with modernist language and Schoenbergian continuous development, while making fleeting reference to Classical traditions of form. Nothing is simple, though, as sections fly off in unexpected ways. The second movement, while the most unpredictable formally (shifting from imitative counterpoint to Ariosto to recitativo accompagnato), is the most unambiguous harmonically, with nostalgic references to the "Americanist" language of Barber, Schuman, and Hanson. The final movement begins with an impressionistic haze, then shifts abruptly into a kind of cantonal be-bop. At the end, the haze returns and transforms, through the filter of the previous movements, into a hard-driving rush to a powerful close. This Quartet was written in 1999 for the Aurelia Quartet. ---------------- Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/bandwest...
