"Skylights" for Saxophone Quintet [PDF]

$45.00

Skylights is a work in three movements inspired by the light emitted from the sky as the day turns into night. The first movement depicts the time of day known as “golden hour,” the period right before sunset during which the light outside becomes warm and yellow-orange. The movement is a mixture of light and nimble phrases and calm serene textures to depict the beautiful way the sun emits its light in the last moments before sunset.

The second movement, “Twilight,” depicts the time after the sun has disappeared below the horizon, and the sky becomes a hazy, dark blue. The movement begins with a lonely melody played by the soprano saxophone soloist, as the waning light from the sky becomes more and more blue. The rest of the ensemble then enters with a cascade of warm chords ebbing and flowing from one to the next. “Twilight” is built around descending melodic and harmonic lines, to convey the sun’s light slowly fading away as the evening becomes night.

The final movement, “Starlight," is inspired by stargazing. The music rapidly shifts between different textures, harmonies, and time signatures, to depict what it’s like to have your eyes darting around the night sky as you discover more and more stars, planets, and satellites coming into view.

Skylights was commissioned by saxophonist Anthony Cincotta and premiered alongside the Invicta Saxophone Quartet.
