Classical guitar and saxophone are not often seen together. This work was commissioned by two such musicians that had only found a small amount of material for the pairing.
Both movements show virtuosity of each instrument and the players will find that the frequently changing time signatures make the piece seem mysterious. The balancing of these two instruments can be tricky and requires the players to work with each other carefully when getting used to the timbres together.
The piece was inspired by the story of Orpheus and his travel to and from the underworld. The story is timeless and shows the importance the musicians in greek culture.
Great training for the use of varying time signatures. 
This is the complete work.
