Transcription II - Hayden Chisholm "Oracle Hymn 9"
I have admired the music of Hayden Chisholm for many years now. My favourite works of his are those written for saxophone ensembles, pieces like “Love in Numbers” and “Density Movements”. Also delightful are his pieces for saxophone and accompanying drone—usually a sruti box. “Oracle Hymn 9” stands out as a particularly moving example of such a piece. The modal colours seem unique among his other pieces. A full analysis is warranted but for now you can find the complete transcription here and view my performance of the piece here.
