Description: Dedicated to the famed ROVA Saxophone Quartet of San Francisco, The Rova Improvisations evince Coolidge's great skill in transforming poetry into an experience that interacts between the play of pure linguistic sound and the substance of that language's meaning. Meaning gives rise to the play of language, and language, in turn, to new and different meanings in each of Coolidge's brilliant "takes" on the poetic experience.
