Song, Hands & Stomp is based on the Concerto for Baritone Saxophone, Strings & You. The work showcases the broad ranging expressive capabilities of the saxophone and celebrates the singular joy that is live music performance. To this end, the work blurs the distinction between audience and performer. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnOK1ohyxCE&list=RDdnOK1ohyxCE&start_radio=1

Stomp is an angular and chromatic rock anthem powered by the stomping of feet. An opening groove is established by the soloist and soon taken up by the piano, allowing the soloist to explore a range of virtuosic electric guitar inspired sound effects. The climax of the work is a full-throttle alto saxophone cadenza: an eruption of multiphonics, bends, bisbigliandi and squeals that is ‘cheered on’ by a room full of stomping feet.

Song, Hands & Stomp is based on the Concerto for Baritone Saxophone, Strings & You. Here, the solo baritone part remains almost unchanged but the string parts have been reimagined for piano. The work showcases the broad ranging expressive capabilities of the baritone saxophone and celebrates the singular joy that is live music performance.

This suite retells, in melody, historical events from Sydney in the 1920s. The first movement, Razorhurst, depicts the violent and somewhat romanticized razor gangs that were highly active in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. The second movement Greycliffe is composed in memory of the deadly Greycliffe ferry disaster of 1927. The collision between the small Greycliffe public ferry and a large steamer resulted in the death of forty passengers and is still the deadliest accident that has occurred in Sydney Harbour. The final optimistic movement, Bridgesteps, is inspired by the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This landmark was constructed step by step across the decade of the 1920s⸺ninety years on the bridge is still a focal point of the city’s identity.
