CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

Close Encounters for Eb Alto Saxophone & Piano draws on historic themes connected to the medieval closes and courts of Edinburgh. Often named after prominent residents, these ancient passageways are given life by the records of their occupiers or through local legend.

More familiar characters include the duplicitous William Brodie, characterised by Robert Louis Stevenson as Dr Jekyll and his alter ego Mr Hyde, and Mary King whose close was named as the supposed source of the Black Death plague. The Hidden Garden refers to David Dunbar’s Mushroom Garden. By Leaves We Live reflects Riddle’s Court’s association with ecological studies, set against Maqam Jam which takes flight with prison escapee Andrew Gray who made his fortune in North Africa before returning to the Scottish capital to settle in what became known as Morocco Land. Just beyond the old town perimeter, Jacob’s Ladder is a secluded, steep staircase that connects with nearby Calton Hill.

Suitable for intermediate to advanced saxophonists.
