As the original Saxophonist, Anna Young, had to drop out of the recording session due to a surprise lesson and so Amy had to step in last second. I was overwhelmed by how professional both performers were on the day, both learning their parts insanely quickly and performing with such grace, it was a very humbling experience. 

I wrote the Sax part with a combination of rapid graces to give a sense of unrest, as if trying to free oneself from their cage, and also slow, solemn legatos to accompany the piano, emphasizing a sense of longing. These feelings are further built upon by the use of the Dm key, which I believe is one of the most desperate, longing keys.
