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

31 Chapter 4. Movement II Figure 17. Form of Movement II, Concerto for Alto Saxophone The second major architectural component of Bryant’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone is the chord progression from the work Solace . While it is used in the first movement, its presence is less obvious. In the second movement, it is a major part of the construction of the work, and serves as a form of chaconne in the beginning of the second movement, supplying much of the underlying harmony.
