Maria Faust: Sacrum Facere
ByMaria Faust
saxophoneb.1979
The movements in the cycle were written specifically for an octet, each one featuring different soloist and all highlighting the individual voices of the musicians and their instrumental colors. Faust's compositions do not shy from sounding naive and even sentimental yet none of the compositions focus only on the straight emotional aspec, all emphasize her rich and highly personal musical language as composer and improviser.
On "Epp" she arranges the brass and woodwind instruments as a choir, led by Swedish trumpeter
