Aronis: Chaconne for Alto Saxophone, Violin and Piano

This music is a contemporary interpretation of the chaconne, employing as it does, a series of fifteenth chords. In some episodes, the individual triads, making up the fifteenth chords, are interchangeable. There are two development sections (first fast, then slow) using a secondary theme made of fragments of the main chaconne theme.

The music makes effective use of the instrument colors. It is a welcome addition to this genre where there is little repertoire. Duration: approximately 8 minutes.
