Just a note to let you know I bought "The Listener" on itunes and love it.
My daughter goes to Victoria College of the Arts Secondary School and told me to listen to this beautiful piece of saxophone music she heard one of the students play at school. She remembered your name as the composer and we looked it up. Some really moving passages and a really lovely piece overall.
Keep it up.
Regards, Bill.
Yes I just bought it to and it is great for the students to play along with for their AMEB
