I Stray Dogs - II Those drawn with a fine camel-hair brush - III Those which have just broken the water-pitcher - IV Those embalmed - V Those which are included in this classification - VI Suckling pigs
for saxophone quartet
Based upon Jorge Luis Borges' imaginary ancient Chinese encyclopaedia in which the animal kingdom is broken down into fourteen categories such as 'Frenzied creatures' and 'Those belonging to the Emperor', this quartet reflects on the bizarre imagery suggested by these headings. 'The first movement 'Stray dogs' tends, after the fashion of these creatures, suddenly to appear in unexpected places' (Gilbert). This lively piece of character music would add much variety to any programme.
