Promises (Movement 1)

The first movement of Promises, our upload being the album track.
London Symphony Orchestra, from Promises (2021)

Shepherd wrote the piece and arranged the strings the LSO performs. Movement 1 runs 6:24 and states the central motif that returns throughout. Sanders vocalizes wordlessly in Movement 4, his saxophone ends the piece at the close of Movement 7, and the motif fades in Movement 8. We found no other version information, covers or setlist counts.
