Mournful, tender, passionate - this side of the saxophone's character is well suited to Derek Bourgeios's Romance. It is an ideal piece for the expressive player although the technical requirements are limited. The composer now has a substantial number of works for the concert band, including the extended "Symphony of Winds" and "Sinfonietta," the 12-minute and tuneful "Bridges Over the River Cam" and the popular miniature "Serenade.".
