SEXTET No. 1
Commissioned by Francisco Martinez for the Sax Ensemble, Madrid (hence the Spanish subtitle), this is a very personal work. The composer's mother suffered a heart attack just as the composition phase began. After some online research, the composer learnt that the human heart goes through various transformations based on age, mood, state of mind & of course health. This inspired him to compose a work that includes inhaling sounds that symbolize the oxygen needed for all hearts to function. A dramatic work full of pathos and hope.
