Grid

For his saxophone quartet Grid, Austrian composer Gerald Resch has explored grids and the overlapping, shifting and overriding of clear regularities. In the work, which consists of six movements, Resch deliberately favours a "light" tone that may be remotely reminiscent of Shostakovich and, in its agile dynamics, repeatedly allows jazzy moments to shine through.
Instrumentation:
4 saxophones (SATBar)
