Groovin’
Goliath (and the slingshot of doom) for saxophone choir combines
elements of blues, traditional and non-traditional tonal structures, shifting
metrical landscapes, and saxophonic sound effects in this retelling of the epic
tale of David and Goliath. The giant still loses the fight, but the biggest
saxes reign supreme in this battle royale!
Commissioned by Dr. Jackie Lamar and the Arkansas Saxophones
