Nemesis is a contemporary classical composition by British composer Andy Scott. It was composed in 2010 and premiered on 17th April 2010 at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK. The piece is written for a solo saxophonist and a wind orchestra. Nemesis is a three-movement work that explores the concept of revenge and retribution. The first movement, titled "The Furies," is a fast and aggressive piece that represents the anger and fury of the avenging spirits in Greek mythology. The second movement, "Nemesis," is a slower and more contemplative piece that represents the inevitability of fate and the consequences of one's actions. The final movement, "Retribution," is a fast and energetic piece that represents the final reckoning and punishment for one's misdeeds. The piece is characterized by its use of extended techniques on the saxophone, such as multiphonics and slap tonguing, as well as its use of complex rhythms and harmonies. The wind orchestra provides a rich and varied accompaniment, with sections of the piece featuring solos from various instruments. Overall, Nemesis is a powerful and dramatic work that showcases the versatility and virtuosity of the saxophone, as well as the skill and creativity of its composer.
