Description
In the tradition of Vaughn Williams’ “English Folk Song Suite”, Canadian writer Kristofferson’s Icelandic Folk Song Suite traverses a traveler’s encounter with an elf-maiden, moments of sprightliness and lush dream-like scoring. The second movement features an alto saxophone soloist in a slower tempo. This work could be performed as one or two movements in either order, and is a substantial and profound new work for band.
