Recorded on the album 'The Last Tree by Alastair Penman.' Instrumentation: Saxophone Orchestra (SSSAAAATTTTBBB) Length: 4'10

The second movement from The Last Tree.

“Men argue, nature acts” – Voltaire

This movement shows how we cannot control nature. Whilst we argue, nature does not wait for us, but responds to the stimuli that we give it. At the start of the music we hear arguments taking place, before nature (lead by the baritone saxophones) drags the music in a different direction.
