“Contemporary composer Amy Quate works in a wide variety of musical styles; forms and media. Composed in 1982 and dedicated to saxophonist Debra Richtmeyer; Light of Sothis creatively depicts the brightest star in heaven. Sothis; now called Sirius; is the star aspect of the goddess Isis; whose light confines the cycles of nature which bring beauty; prosperity and life. It is believed that Sothis blesses us with sacred illumination and it is this which Quate depicts in Light of Sothis. In three movements; Grace; Passion and Faith; the Saxophone line has lyrical melodies contrasted with dramatic scalic passages; covering the entire range of the instrument. Suitable for intermediate level saxophonists; a performance Quate's Light of Sothis proves to be an enticing prospect.”
