Moz Pit (for saxophone quartet and chorus) by Martin Humphries Composer published on 2016-05-29T17:29:18Z I - House First Interlude II - Thrash Second Interlude III - Dub Moz Pit is my response to the finale of Act I of Don Giovanni in which Mozart intersperses the action with three distinct dances. Using melodic material borrowed from the Mozart original I have reimagined this finale through the use of 21st-Century dance forms, namely house, the moshing which so often accompanies metal music, and dubstep. These movements are separated by two interludes scored for an additional saxophone chorus, the intention being that a group of amateur players may perform alongside an experienced quartet and contribute equally to the performance. Moz Pit was composed in September 2015 for a performance at the University of Southampton as part of the ‘Mozart Remixed’ festival.
