Olfieg

Olfeig for saxophone quartet by Martin Kay

'Olfieg is an epic waltz following the journey of a polar bear who, suddenly separated from Greenland, floated on a shard of ice to Iceland through mist and stark scenery, feasting on fish, eventually providing the authorities with a conundrum: ship him back or put him in a zoo?

This was from a concert Continuum saxophone quartet played with the Leichaardt Espresso choir.  

The score and part are available from Reed Music
