Canon In D (For Saxophone Ensemble)

The Storm on Galilee

Written for & performed by RNCM Brand New Saxophones, workshops February 2024.

These three excerpts are part of a longer work, and includes some ideas inspired by film-making techniques.

For example, the fast material in very close canon overlaid with slower, fluid lines is a musical translation of a film technique called step-printing, which can create a slow-motion blurring effect produced by overlapping duplicated (or triplicated) frames; this can be used to give the impression of one character being in slow motion while a surrounding crowd is blurred and moving at double speed; the filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai was a pioneer of this technique; the effect was also more recently referenced in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022).
