Wabi-sabi (2015)

Written for Saxophone Quartet: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone.

The wabi sabi 侘 寂 is an aesthetic appreciation of the evanescence of life. The wabi sabi images force us to contemplate our own mortality and evoke an existential loneliness and a delicate sadness. They also cause bittersweet relief, since we know that all existence shares the same destiny.
