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? Or shoot it. The media christened the bear Olfeig, which translates as ‘that which should not be shot’.
This was from a concert Continuum saxophone quartet played with the Leichaardt Espresso choir.
The score and part are available from Reed Music
And here is a performance for the 2012 International Saxophone Congress in St Andrews, Scotland:
