Composed during the years 2003-2004 by David Bilskemper, this piece, the saxophone concerto, was completed during a life transition. Long awaiting publication, the piece as a full score edition is now available in this format. The saxophone writing in the piece pushes limits and boundaries on the instrument to the maximum potential almost of what was thought possible in terms of range and duration. Early on the prospects for a chamber orchestra version were forsaken in favor of this instrumentation- the composition for full orchestra and saxophone.
