Contents

!e Sonata was commissioned by the North American Saxophone Alliance for its "#$# convention. It is in three large movements. !e %rst is lyrical and re&ective, with sudden energetic bursts. !e song-like and soulful second movement is a broad soliloquy with its roots in the expressive madrigal style of the sixteenth century. !e third is a large rondo that is at times %erce, mournful, playful, and turbulent, and at the end ethereal.
