Program Notes:
Distant Call is a one-movement composition for solo Baritone Saxophone.
The composition is inspired by the feeling of a desired isolation, like being alone in a mountain. The silence, the distant echoes from afar and the low voices from the isolated environment make me feel a vague nostalgia. There is always a mystery and a hidden intensity in this tranquility, and these elements want to reveal themselves.
