Rapso, for saxophone quartet (SATB) - DIGITAL VERSION

Description

Inspired by the dramatic fury of Shakespeare's The Tempest, Lorenzo Lionello's Rapso is an intense contemporary work for saxophone quartet in which the baritone saxophone stands out as the protagonist and narrator. Through a captivating interplay of chiaroscuro and dynamic contrasts – described as a true "Caravaggio-esque pause" – the composition alternates between the impetus of virtuosic bursts and extended techniques and moments of lyrical choral suspension. With its subversion of Leopardi's topos of calm after the storm, the piece offers a sonic journey of extraordinary emotional impact, ideal for ensembles wishing to explore the timbral richness of contemporary chamber repertoire.
