MIDNIGHT OMEN (1992) for solo sax (any) by Howard J. Buss. This inventive and sparkling composition evokes the mystery and enchantment of the night. Based upon an intriguing 12-tone row, Midnight Omen is characterized by quiet, lyrical sections contrasted with intense and energetic passages. The musical effect is analogous to the nocturnal calm when interrupted by "things that go bump in the night." This is a memorable recital feature
