Pulse

1 Full Score - 1 Soprano Saxophone - 1 Alto Saxophone - 1 Tenor Saxophone - 1 Baritone Saxophone

The 'Pulse' motif travels through the whole piece in different speeds and characters. The pulse works like a heartbeat, it is always there but shifting every bar a little bit. Pulse is also the time between impulses. Impulses can be chords, motifs or rhytms. And even the five different parts of the piece together create a pulse. Commisioned by Ottomani. Première on 19-05-2012, Toonzaal, 's-Hertogenbosch, concours for saxophonequartets.
