'In Yellow Waves' is a suite of two pieces composed for Bb trumpet, alto saxophone and drums, composed by Natalia Pispini in 2014 and 2017.

Both pieces are polyphonic and use bimodality. Stylistically, they are kind of a mix of jazz, classical and contemporary genres. They are programmatic, refliecting my impressions after crossing the Arabic desert with its massive sand dunes, the wavy character of those was implemented in the wavy melody of the compositions.

'In Yellow Waves II' is In C/G, Allegretto energico. The odd meter 7/8 together with complex syncopations and accents bring particular drive to this composition. The polyphonic technique of 'free canon' is used when the voice-follower imitates the interval number and not the quality. The drums accompany the canon.
