Catch : for saxophone quartet, 2004 / Roderik de Man
Description:
Program note (English): (Premiere: 5-2-2006 - Musée d'Art Contemporain, Montreal - Quasar Saxophone Quartet) - The title refers to different meanings of the word 'catch' as given by Webster's Dictionary: - to seize or capture after pursuit, - to allow to become gripped, - to check or restrain suddenly, - to become inspired by or aware of. These meanings represent the character of this composition, which is a game for skilled musicians, demanding apart from musical sensitivity, fast reactions and well-synchronised teamwork. - RODERIK DE MAN
