Glen Gillis

Elegy Cadenza (2009) for alto saxophone and piano by Glen Gillis was written in memory of his father,

Johann (Joe) Albert Gillis, who passed away September 5, 2008. The work, written from February 2-14,

2009, is the development of a 3-note descending motif in the Phrygian mode. Another minor mode

eventually appears with a jazz flavour that hints of a major key on the horizon. The opening section or

cadenza is free that segues to a lyrical and mournful melody, that also segues to another cadenza, followed by

the finale-a fast bop style section. It portrays emotions of loss and celebration, and the cherishing of many

memories. The phrasing, alternating meters, glisses and pitch bending, and wide performance range provide

interest and challenges for the soloist.

Elegy Cadenza, performed by the composer, can be heard on SaxSpectrum MSR Classics (MS 1328).
