Troikalia (Sonata for Flute and Tenor Saxophone)
Troikalia, a duet between tenor saxophone and flute, is a 3-movement piece that captures three separate characters. The first is a character of jollity combined with a touch of thoughtfulness. The second, slow movement conveys the stoic hope and faith of a poet who has thought deeply about life. The third is a fiery dance designed to convey the magic of a well-woven story, and the energy and life of the storyteller (as well as the enthrallment of the listeners). The piece incorporates extended techniques for the flute and saxophone, and is designed to provide an exciting challenge for the players.
