S147: Prelude, Cadence et Finale for Alto
Saxophone and Piano by Alfred Desenclos. Leduc, 1956, SS, 15 + 6
pages. Dedicated to Marcel Mule and a contest piece at the National
Conservatory. A wonderful composition from Desenclos (1912-1971) who
wrote very little music because he thought his music wasn't good
enough. As Mule wrote, this piece proves the contrary. It opens with
the Prelude which is dark and jazz influenced. The Cadence is built
primarily on rapid arpeggios and is followed by a transitional piano
section leading into the Finale which begins rapidly but alternates
between sections similar to the beginning before accelerating again to
the conclusion. The piano part is very important and requires a skilled
player. Advanced level. This piece is
required for the preliminary round of the North American Saxophone
Alliance 2012 Classical Saxophone Competition. |

part and a solo part prepared by Carina Raschèr, piano reduction by

pages. The Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra is Alexander
Glazunov’s last work. Since its first performance in 1934 it has become
part of the standard saxophone repertoire. The sole surviving autograph
manuscript is the hand-written dedication score given by Glazunov to
Sigurd Raschèr. This score contains the original version of the work
without the alterations which were made in the proofs to the orchestral
score as well as the full version of the composer's cadenza which was
later shortened. The autograph manuscript also contains some
performance markings by Raschèr. The correspondence between Raschèr and
Glazunov documents the composer's thoughts on the work and his
recommendations about the size of the accompanying string orchestra.
Evidence from this correspondence has been integrated into this
edition. This first scholarly-critical edition of a work by Glazunov
contains an informative introduction on German and English with
commentaries about the history of its composition, facsimiles and a
critical commentary. The solo parts (urtext and parts prepared by
Carina Raschèr) include both the complete and the shortened version of
the cadenza as well as a cadenza by Raschèr. We can order the
score ($29.95). Matching string parts should be available in January

elegiac 'moral.'" Upper college level with a duration of about 11

/ S110: Vocalise Op. 34 No. 14
for Soprano or Tenor Saxophone and Piano by Sergei Rachmaninoff
arranged by Ronald L. Caravan. Ethos Publications, SS. The genesis of
this arrangement was preparation for a recording session where Dr.
Caravan was to record this piece on soprano saxophone. His accompanist
insisted he should try the piece in the original concert key (C sharp
minor) instead of the available transcriptions which are a half step
lower or higher. After trying it in this key they decided it was much
more effective and this arrangement is the result. While E-flat minor
(six flats) may seem like a difficult key, this piece moves slowly and
it should not be a problem for any player at intermediate or above
level.

incorporates not only the Paganini, but fragments of famous saxophone
literature. As the piece unfolds, the increasing technical difficulty
recalls the myth - that Paganini sold his soul for his virtuosity. It
was a required work for the participants of the International Adolphe
Sax Competition in 2002. |

pages. The composer wrote: "Two friends, who happen also to be a
saxophone and piano duo, were visiting me in my adopted home of Bali. .

the country, incorporating some Balinese rhythms and modes." It appears

Categories is a very nostalgic piece for me. The two major
musical styles in my life have been jazz and classical music. In the
past, out of necessity, I have had to keep them separated. This piece
is an attempt on my part to integrate these styles. I do not consider
this piece 'third stream' but something of itself. It should not played
for its jazz elements, or for that matter, for its classical elements,
but as something in between-- hence the title." An advanced piece with
a duration of about 7 minutes. The piano part appears to be the more
challenging of the two. |
