Written in a tonal idiom, the concerto is in three movements, in which the soloist is required to perform on the alto saxophone in the technically challenging outer movements, and on the soprano saxophone in the lyrical and reflective middle movement. Dancelike rhythms alternate with plaintive melodies throughout the work providing the soloist the opportunity for bravura display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Franceschina\u003c\/strong\u003e, composer, has created scores for the National Shakespeare Company and the Provincetown Playhouse in New York City, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, Baltimore's Center Stage, Washington's Ford's Theatre and the Arena Stage, the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, Cleveland Playhouse, Florida Studio Theatre, Geva Theatre, Syracuse Stage, Papermill Playhouse, Music Theatre Works, and the Moscow Art Theatre, in addition to the Asolo State Theatre in Sarasota, Florida, where he acted as composer-in-residence from 1976 to 1993.
