Scored for two saxophones and wind orchestra, the work brings double concerto, saxophone and wind orchestra into a concentrated musical relationship. It was commissioned by Claude Delangle and Orchestre de la Garde Républicaine. The premiere context is documented as Cathédrale Saint-Louis des Invalides, Paris, France.
