Philip Glass' Violin Concerto arranged for Soprano Saxophone by Amy Dickson.

With a commission from the American Composers Orchestra - Philip's first from an American orchestra - he composed the Violin Concerto. Though the actual writing took some four months (November 1986 - February 1987), Glass says ideas were germinating for a time before writing commenced. The Concerto is dedicated to Dennis Russell Davies and Paul Zukofzky, who present the first performance.
