"Crystal Gems" Extended

Crystal Gems (Extended) is a large-scale work for saxophone quartet that explores resonance, color, and evolving textures. The piece unfolds gradually, allowing individual voices to interlock and separate, creating a shifting harmonic landscape that emphasizes blend, balance, and sustained intensity.

Written with the physicality and expressive range of the saxophone in mind, this extended version expands on the original material through longer-form development and deeper textural exploration. Crystal Gems is well suited for ensembles interested in immersive, contemporary repertoire that rewards careful listening, patience, and ensemble cohesion.
