As if in one breath, the piece sees a gradual expansion of pitch and intensity. A whispered sotto voce line threads two voices together in a delicate and intimate dialogue where they are constantly influenced by the other. The material develops akin to a photo gradually emerging in a dark room. Tomas Transtromers poem Ostinato resounds with the piece, which is where the titleCircling Pointis found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTomas Transtromers poem Ostinato resounds with the piece, which is where the title Circling Pointis found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\t- Charlotte Bray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\tPerformance Notes\n\u003cbr\u003eThe saxophone music in the piano part is notated at sounding pitch.
