WW257:
Pit Band for Alto Saxophone, Bass Clarinet and Piano
by William Albright. C.F. Peters, 1996, SS. (includes parts and piano
score). This work, with its unusual ensemble of three haphazard
instruments--a pick-up band--attemps to digest an evening-long musical
comedy in a few minutes (8 to be precise). The program is: Tune-up and
Introduction, Overture, Opening Number, Vamps and Screams ("Nessun
dorma"), Love Song, Waltz, alla Marcia, Fox-trot and Shimmeys, and
Finale. An advanced work with some high altissimo for both instruments,
but without the nasty key changes found in most musicals. |

WW269: Wooden Miniatures Woodwind
Quintet by
Gregory W. Yasinitsky. Advance Music, 2010, SS, (includes parts and
score). Wooden Miniatures was commissioned by Washington State
University and written in 1994. Since the work was composed for a

limited the goal was to create a piece which had the feeling of a
complete work, yet was short and concise (duration 6:25). Wooden
Miniatures is in three movements: I. Made of Mahogany features
brilliant, sprightly colors; II. Teak Elephants is more melancholy and
reflective; and III. Fashioned from Boxwood begins with a march-like
fugato followed by a return of material from the first movement. Early
college level. |
