And Everything is Still (Scott)
Movements
Notes
Andy Scott is a British saxophonist and composer equally at home in jazz and classical contexts. And Everything is Still is a beautiful melodic piece showcasing the expressive possibilities of the saxophone. In the words of the composer:
Inspired by a poem written by Lemn Sissay (taken from his children’s book The Emperor’s Watchmaker), And Everything Is Still… was commissioned by the Royal Northern College of Music & was premiered by Carla Sousa (flute) & Lucy Colquhoun (piano) on 22nd June 2008 in a concert that marked the retirement of the College Principal Edward Gregson. A simple melody unravels alongside delicate harmonic statements, creating a calm and gentle atmosphere.
