Dawn to Dusk

About the Composition

A duo for oboe and alto saxophone composed by Filipe Leitão, inspired and influenced by the compositions of Claude Debussy, featuring fluid tonal centers, liquid rhythms, and exotic scales. Since it was written for two melodic instruments, it mainly incorporates Debussy’s use of tone color, melodic construction, and writing style to evoke a sense of incompletion through fragmented ideas and harmonic movements that attenuate the sense of tonality, leaving to the listener a dreamlike atmosphere. The piece essentially features three sections, with the first and last sections being more lyrical, featuring a fluid rhythm, and the middle one more energetic.
