Originally written in May 2012 but only released in June 2022, 'Beyond the heartbeat' explores a largely tranquil soundscape and has a duration of about 3'44". Almost vocal like in texture the piece demands sensitivity from all players. Although not really technically demanding (around grade 5 standard) the skill lies in the ability to listen and blend well; enjoy making this piece breathe as the whole ensemble is unified as one.
Review by Persiflage Saxophone quartet (January 2016):
"Behind the heartbeat is a little gem! We so enjoyed trying it out at rehearsal yesterday. Subtle and lyrical, it works really well as a warm-up piece to get players tuned together and listening to each other."
