Bacchanal

Bacchanal is a vibrant and energetic work that captures the spirit of a joyous celebration in honour of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and festivity. From playful frolicking and dreamy moments of repose to exhilarating dances, the music takes performers and audiences on an entertaining musical journey.

Packed with character, rhythmic vitality, and engaging ensemble writing, Bacchanal is an exciting addition to the saxophone ensemble repertoire. Its dynamic contrasts and memorable themes make it an excellent choice for both concert openers and rousing finales, leaving a lasting impression on performers and listeners alike.

Bacchanal is in three movements:
1. Carouse
2. Slumber
3. Frolic
