Light of Sothis (Quate)
Movements
Notes
Amy Quate is an American composer who works in a wide variety of musical styles, forms and media and who has published both musical and literary works. Light of Sothis was commissioned for the Seventh World Saxophone Congress held in Nuremberg, Germany, and is dedicated to Debra Richtmeyer, who premiered the work. Light of Sothis has since become a work popular both with professionals and students, setting two beautiful outer movements against the dramatic middle movement.
