Three Images for Saxophone Octet by Joel Love | Composer published on 2016-03-15T05:47:10Z These three movements all explore their own sound worlds. The first movement, “Spring” begins with three simple melodic movements, is through- composed, and is meant to depict a verdant springtime landscape in which people/animals are playing. “The Golden Hour” is a meditation on the image of the sun setting (or rising). In photography, the term “the golden hour” refers to the time just before and after sunrise/sunset, during which daylight is reddish and soft. Lastly, “Bed Monsters” is an unbridled rondo that is evocative of someone or something being chased by a predator. The title comes from my wife, Amelia, who thought it sounded like a monster lurking under the bed (from her childhood...). Three Images was commissioned by the Kenari and Barkada saxophone quartets for a combined performance given on March 12, 2016 in Lubbock, TX at the 2016 North American Saxophone Alliance National Conference in Hemmle Recital Hall.
