Moroccan Fantasy
was originally a set of two pieces Heath wrote in the 1980s,
Shiraz
and
Gentle Dreams
. Then in 1999 saxophonist Simon Haram wanted a new piece so Heath wrote
Moroccan Fantasy
based on the earlier pieces, extending the harmonies of
Gentle Dreams
, and giving
Shiraz
more of a Reggae feel. Young Scottish saxophonist Rowan Hawitt then heard Simon’s recording and wanted Heath to make a piano and sax reduction, so he produced
Moroccan Fantasy
in various arrangements for solo wind instrument and piano. It’s also available for oboe & piano and clarinet & piano.
