Description:
Dan Welcher's fascinating work for soprano sax is both a refraction of Mendelssohn's music for A Midsummer Night's Dream; and his own incidental music to Shakespeare's comedy. The work's title; As Light As Bird From Brier; quotes from Oberon (King of the Fairies) invoking revelry at the play's climactic wedding scene. Welcher's fantasy skips among the most beloved themes of Mendelssohn's Midsummer; giving the saxophonist quite a workout and the listener a midsummer delight.
