Sheet Music: ScoreSkittled : for saxophone quintet / Anne Cawrse.by Anne Cawrse (2022)

Product details
In 1999, I had the good fortune of being selected as the South
Australian delegate for the Australian Society for Music
Education's Young Composer's Project, held that year in Sydney. I
was an eager but musically naive 18 year old, having earlier that
year commenced studying composition at Adelaide's Elder
Conservatorium. Through the tutelage of Composer-in-Residence
Matthew Hindson, my time in Sydney introduced me to the music of
Ross Edwards via his effervescent and beautiful Flower
Songs.
Fast forward a few years, and I have the privilege of being the
Composer-in-Residence for the 2015 ASME conference held this year
in my home city of Adelaide. In wring a new work for the
Australian String Quartet to premiere during the conference, I
turned again to the music of Ross Edwards which has continued to
delight and inspire me. The resultant work Skittled
certainly bears my own musical trademarks of irregular metres and
twisting modal melodic lines, but there is also a deliberate
repetitiveness of short melodic themes, a playful interplay
between the parts and a joyful dance-like character that is
intended to pay homage to the choral maninya that I
heard and loved as a student.
