Deuce - Robert Lemay

This is a new duo composed by Robert Lemay written for J-Francois Guay (Canada) and Yong Tong (China). The title Deuce refers to the game of tennis when the score is the equal between the two players. In this piece, it means that the two saxophone players have equal parts answering each other in a very exciting atmosphere.
