Name: Aleph by Yifei Xu
Duration: 4 min 43 s
Description: Saxophone Quartet

This saxophone quartet piece, titled Aleph is built on several really short jazz-like mottos, almost like riffs, that keeps showing up but every time distorted, refracted, mirrored against itself. The four saxophones act like four mirrors facing each other, so you get canon, retrograde, rhythmic displacements, sometimes very close stretto, sometimes opening up into more fragmented counterpoint.

Vox Vitae ultimately reflects the paradox of memory: its impermanence and its power. While
time erodes the details of our lives, love remains—a fragile, resonant voice that continues to
echo within us, long after all else has faded.
