Chimera
Saxophone Trio
Commissioned by Frank Sanders
Premiere: Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, FL, March 2023
Duration: 5’30”
Chimera aims to capture the essence of the creature from ancient Greek mythology. The creature has three separate animal heads: the lion, the goat, and the snake. These three elements that distinguish the creature are replicated in the music. Chimera contains three different musical sections in which all voices are simultaneously working together and against each other. In addition, the voices of the trio become more unified as the music progresses.
