Krakatoa - Concerto for Alto Saxophone, Strings, and Percussion 1986 The Brahmsian sweeping gestures andComposer(s): Stacy Garrop Part of the cataclysmic drama of Krakatoas four volcanic explosions in one day was the historic death and destruction it brought, along with booms heard over 3000 miles away. For those living in its shadow, the eerie fear of waiting for whats next was at least as intense as the eruptions. Garrops concerto for alto saxophone, with an orchestra using only strings and percussion, captures the full emotion and drama of the day.
