Daybreak on Skeppsholmen (for Soprano Saxophone)

Beschrijving

You can feel the morning calm on Skeppsholmen, an island in Stockholm in this piece. In this solo for soprano saxophone, Victoria Borisova-Ollas paints a picture of the district which  reflects its charm in idyllic nature, beautiful views of the city and cultural life. This advanced-level work is dedicated to one of the world's best soprano saxophonists, Anders Paulsson.  It exploits the full range of the instrument in flowing motifs, themes and detailed rhythms. Coupled with an intensive design our curiosity about the island is awakened. 

This contemporary composition makes use of traditional playing techniques that allow the instrument to shine with virtuosity.
