Description
The Holy Roller for saxophone and piano is a revival sermon captured in music. It draws inspiration from classical revival preaching, using sound to convey a sense of cajoling and incanting.
Libby Larsen's composition aims to mesmerize the listener through its use of rhythm, tempo and tension and release. A version for alto saxophone and concert band is available on hire.
