Tonight, November 14 2012 at 7:30pm, pianist Braden Young and I
will perform a new work for baritone saxophone and piano by composer
Leila Lustig.
This work is called “The Soundtrack
from...” and we both consider ourselves fortunate to be able to
present this during the “Canada Music Week” at the Conservatory
of Music. The title of the piece suggests that Leila was inspired
by a movie, but which one?
During a phone conversation Leila explained that this work was composed as a program music piece, but she was
reluctant to give away what that program was. The audience is asked
to imagine from which movie this music could be, but not to worry, Leila
assured me that one can also simply relax and enjoy this work in an
abstract way.
Some of her earlier compositions for
the saxophone have been performed and recorded by the Amherst
Saxophone Quartet; especially her “Lament on the Death of Music”
has been well received and can be heard here: http://amherstsaxophonequartet.com/content/lament-death-music-leila-lustig
