Saxophonist Nathan Nabb

Saxophonist Nathan Nabb

range of light (2014)

This piece is part of my National Park Series.

Written in 2014 for saxophonist Nathan Nabb, this sonata is a tour-de-force for the advanced saxophonist.  Each of the four movements is based on selected photographs of Yosemite National Park by Ansel Adams.  Premiered in April, 2014.
