Fantasy, Op. 53

by Louie Madrid Calleja

/

about

For 2 alto saxophones and 1 tenor saxophone. It was composed in 1995 as a request by a saxophone instructor at York University. It was completed one week later and performed during the second semester.

It is in the form of a French overture (slow-fast-slow) - the first part is a nostalgic and lamenting chorale reminiscent of 16th century music (with some clusters); the second part is a "danse macabre" in 10/8 meter that makes use of a repeating "organum" sounding rhythmic figure. The opening chorale (shortened) is recapitulated to conclude the piece.
