Souvenirs de Cap Bonne Espérence for soprano saxophone and piano

"Souvenirs du Cap Bonne Espérence" (Souvenirs of the Cap of Good Hope) begins with a dramatic aria, perhaps evoking the trip to the Cap which was, in the 19th century, still very dangerous. The Irish folksong the Irish Immigrant is presented as a them and in two variations. Finally an extended polka in rondo form finishes the work brilliantly.
