Description

A one-movement piece for conventional SATB saxophone quartet, Punctus Einz is dedicated to the excellent Aurelia Saxophone Quartet, members of which are drawn from the Netherlands Wind Ensemble. Traditionally notated, tonal, and written with an awareness of how to get the best from a saxophone quartet, Punctus Einz belongs in the modern mainstream. At 70 bars long (2:41 on the website recording) it doesn’t outstay its welcome, and can be recommended for social playing, or as an attractive short constituent item on a recital programme. The supplied score is at transposed pitch.
