A Conductor’s and Performer’s Guide to Steven Bryant’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone - Chester Jenkins

21 Figure 7. Concerto for Alto Saxophone 1 st movement, measures 35-39. Chord built on two separate tetrads built on the first four notes of the Creston motive with alto saxophone 2 serving as the pivot pitch existing in each tetrad. At measure 63 the clearest version of the harmony to this point created from the motive is present in the horn and trombone part in the form of a pentachord, A-G-E-F-Ab. This sustained harmony precedes the pointillistic solo line that begins in the following measure, while the rest of the woodwinds continue to play lines similar to the beginning of the movement.
