The Garden in the Brain
Seven Songs to words by Emily Dickinson - 2003
arranged for alto saxophone and piano 2018

duration 13 minutes

My dear friends Valentina Renesto and Giuseppe Bruno had already requested a soprano saxophone and piano version of my Soaring (oboe, piano). They were then looking for a work to include on a CD project featuring shorter pieces. Some years ago I had arranged one song from my cycle The Garden in the Brain for a young saxophonist and thus it occurred to me that the whole cycle might work as a little instrumental suite.

1. Within my Garden, rides a Bird
2. You see I cannot see - your lifetime
3. What if I say I shall not wait!
4. The Perfect Look
5. A Dying Tiger
6. Two Butterflies
7. Good Morning - Midnight
