Inspired by a poem written by Lemn Sissay (taken from his children’s book The Emperor’s Watchmaker), And Everything Is Still… was commissioned by the Royal Northern College of Music.

This version for Bb Saxophone & Piano was premiered by Andy Scott & Adam Caird at the 8th RNCM Saxophone Day, on the 16th November 2008.

A simple melody unravels alongside delicate harmonic statements, creating a calm and gentle atmosphere.
