Slow Movement

Original version for saxophone quartet and baroque strings commissioned by the Lautten Compagney, Berlin, to serve as the 'missing' slow movement for Bach's third Brandenburg Concerto. It was first performed in Dornbirn, Austria in 2010, by the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, with Lautten Compagney directed by Wolfgang Katschner.

It was intended to be performed alongside my Chamber Concerto for saxophone quartet and string orchestra, as part of performance of Brandenburg Three. Both works may be performed on period instruments, but at A=440.

This version first performed by the Scottish Ensemble and programmed with “Seavaigers”.
