CONCERTINO (score + solo part)

The Concertino for alto saxophone and string orchestra was written for, and is dedicated to, saxophonist Nuno Miguel Silva. The work is in three movements. The first movement, ''Introduction and Allegro'' begins with an introductory passage which leads to an extended cadenza. The allegro uses a contrasting set of two themes, one of which is syncopated and dancelike, the other which is lyrical and expressive. The Aria which follows is in an ABA lied form with extended passage work for the soloist at the return of the theme. The Rondo-finale is a rollicking scherzo which is presented in a variety of forms, first in the saxophone and then in the violins, after several developmental passages and a final cadenza, returns to end the work with a final flourish.
