Beyond the Tide
This work consists of four movements that may be performed individually as standalone works. The piece evokes the movement of waves, the ebb and flow of the tides, the gentle ocean wavelets and the play of light on water. The final movement is a tango in the spirit of Piazzolla, a composer I have always admired deeply.

Description
With Beyond the Tide, his most recent work for saxophone (proficiency level: intermediate), Karol Beffa challenges performers to explore a modern compositional language, marked by the composer's distinctive poetic voice. Beffa's melodic style implies some extensive work on dynamics and phrasing, while encouraging performers to venture beyond the usual references of the instrument's repertoire.
