Incubus II

Incubus II, for alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, piano and percussion. Inspired by a poem by Paul Williams.
Duration: 17 minutes.

Paul Williamss poem depicts the sinister world of the Incubus, which in Western Medieval legends, is a demon believed to lie on sleeping women in order to have sexual intercourse with them. This dark subject matter forced me to explore a vast array of extended techniques. Players are asked to shout, speak and stomp their feet against the ground. It has not been thought of as a theatre piece, but all players are certainly expected to make use of their histrionic capabilities.

Performers: Eliot Gattegno, alto saxophone; Michael Ibrahim, baritone saxophone; Malgorzata Walentynowicz, piano; Rie Watanabe, percussion. Eduardo Strausser, conductor.
