Landscape III for Soprano or Tenor Saxophone and Piano

Landscape III is a reworking of a 1970 piece by the composer. It employs thematic and harmonic materials derived from his 20th Century Studies for Two Violins. Landscape III is modal and lyrical in nature. Numerous polychords and sudden harmonic shifts highlight the entire piece. The solo part (soprano or tenor saxophone) is full of ornamentations and virtuoso passages based on the sonorities of the piano.

This piece is dedicated to the Greek saxophone virtuoso Theofilos Sotiriades.

The Landscape Series is a collection of works corresponding to five instrumental groups: strings, percussion, brass, woodwinds, and orchestra.
