Deep Blue Heart (Leung)
Movements
Notes
Hong Kong-born composer Alvin Leung is currently a PhD candidate in Music Composition at the University of North Texas. His works have been presented in various places in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Composed originally for alto saxophone, viola and piano, Deep Blue Heart utilises Romantic musical idioms to explore emotions of fragility and vulnerability. After growing into an intense climax in the middle, the piece ultimately resolves into a calmer ending, suggesting acceptance. The work was later adapted in 2025 for alto saxophone, violin and piano.
