This piece was written to be premiered at the Sonoma County Jumpstart session at Cazadero Music Camp in Fall 2022. During this retreat, students from a dozen different middle and high schools get together for a weekend of music under the towering redwoods along the Russian River. Theres a moment at the camp when youre sitting in the seats of the outdoor amphitheater if you look straight up and the breeze is gently touching the tops of the trees that they start to sway back and forth. This piece not only was geared towards younger musicians to encourage them to play legato, but also to try and capture the serenity and beauty of that moment under the trees.
The F# in the alto sax, while important to the chord during the opening and closing section, shouldnt be overplayed. F Horn, Alto and Tenor saxophones add a soaring counter melody from m. 27-39. Feel free to stretch out the last 3 chords of the piece.
