ScodeX

Morse code meets saxophone in ScodeX, a dynamic work commissioned and premiered by Saxophone Orchestra Manchester.

A tango pulses with coded interjections in the first movement, followed by a cool jazz waltz. The finale? A full-throttle romp where the coded fragments explode in a glorious, unified sound.
