Programme note:

Firework: Orange Time Rain is a short encore commissioned by Eugene Ryoo (USA), and is a short ‘firework’ of a piece.

The Saxophone fizzes with contained energy, dances with cascading lines, and celebrates with joyous grooves.

Time Rain is a type of popular firework pattern, and orange was the colour of the visualisation of such a spectacle when writing.
