significant as it marked the first time a female composer’s composition
entered into the repertoire of the Garde Républicaine. Chant
Lyrique was used for many years as an audition piece for

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
Martin Schelhaas. Baerenreiter (BA 8732a), 2010, SS, 22 + 9 (+ 9)
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) and the matching string parts ($5.95 each).

S883: Ayres (based on songs by John Dowland) for
Soprano
Saxophone and Piano by Katherine Hoover. Papagena Press,
2011, SS, 16 + 4 pages. After she heard the soprano saxophone played in
a cathedral and was struck by its beautiful vocal quality, Katherine
Hoover chose to arrange three Elizabethan lute songs by English
Renaissance composer John Dowland. From the composer: “I have treated
[these songs] in somewhat varying ways; counterpoint in the first, some
variations in the second, and rhythmic play in the last, always being
informed by the original song and/or words. These songs were commonly
called Airs, or ‘Ayres,’ in the spelling of the time.” The songs are
“Can She Excuse My Wrongs,” “Weep No More Sad Fountains,” and “Fine
Knacks for Ladies.” The main challenge is the mixed meter in all
pieces. The last note is an altissimo G. College level players who are
comfortable with the frequent meter changes will enjoy these. Click on

for the form of the first movement from the poetic device of terza rima (or terzina) which
allows the music to
both move on and return in a 'rhyming' fashion. The second movement I
called Arie
(songs) which is
simply all it is. And the Finale is a lively, fast Rondo." An

Barber's own famous composition 'Knoxville Summer 1915,' it has a
cosmopolitan influence evoking the same emotions as some of the most
beautiful works of Ravel and Debussy." Not too difficult, probably

reflections, contests, and chases. The narrative consists of a series
of rondo-like events in which two ides predominate—an aggressive,
assertive music, a pulsing yet lyrical event. The interaction of these
two primary events leads to the climax and eventually to the story's
elegiac 'moral.'" Upper college level with a duration of about 11

innocence that these children put into their poetry, despite their
terrible surroundings. The accompaniment of the saxophone is intended
to be haunting and soulful, with echoes of Klezmer music." The song

S925: Intimate Echoes
for Tenor Saxophone and Piano
by Robert Lemay. Resolute Music Publications, 2011, SS, 24 + 8 pages.
Commissioned by Dr. Jeffrey E. Vickers in 2010. Lemay's style of
incorporating advanced saxophone techniques produces an 'echo-like'
effect in this composition. The saxophone produces numerous
slap-tongues at loud dynamics, which fade instantly — leaving a very
soft chordal 'echo' in the piano. Lemay's modern language and scales
present a worthwhile challenge for any saxophonist. Composed with piano
accompaniment, Intimate Echoes would be appropriate for any recital
setting. In keeping with his approach, Lemay also uses other extended
techniques such as bisbigliandi, multiphonics (fingerings are provided
on a separate sheet), and high altissimo. Click

flutter tonguing, a few quarter tones, bisbigliando and high altissimo.

lower marked to sing as high or low as the singer can if they can't

S1130: Heaven to clear when day did close (Fantasy on a
theme of Barney Childs) for Tenor Saxophone and String Quartet
by David Maslanka. Maslanka Press, SB/SS, includes parts and score. The
composer wrote: "Barney Childs was my mentor and then friend from the
early 1970’s until his death in the late 90’s. His music is
fragmentary, elliptical, enigmatic. I always found something to like in
his work – ideas that had a quality of compression and real potential.
Such is the case with the “thematic” fragment that I borrowed from his
solo piano piece 'Heaven to Clear When Day Did Close.' In my fantasy
the theme explodes into a virtuoso tenor sax extravaganza. This is
'Classical' music but with strong reference to bebop. The string
quartet parts are demanding and require a seasoned and committed
ensemble." Includes high altissimo for the tenor saxophone. The
composer's website
has an audio file of a performance and a complete .pdf file of the
score. Click

Contact for Alto Saxophone and
Piano by James Matheson. Theodore Presser Co., 2010/2017, SS,
34 + 11 pages. James Matheson (1970-) is an American composer. This
14-minute work was co-commissioned by a consortium of 19
saxophone/piano duos. Matheson cites the irony that humans throughout
time find new ways to connect with each other, while distancing
themselves in other ways. We reach out across great distances and time,
yet supplant the magical, physical presence of another living being.
Contact is an exploration of this impulse to connect, and of the
paradoxes inherent in our efforts to make the world smaller. Contact is
lyrical then severe, gentle then brutal - a microcosm of our
interactions with others. For advanced performers. Duration of about 13
minutes. Here

intense struggle between two groups of musical material, tugging at
each other and vying for dominance as a push and pull of contrary yet
complimentary forces. Pull was composed (in 1995 but published in 2012)
for saxophonist Samuel Lorber and features a solo part that soars and
glitters. Sectional: Forcefully, Allegro, and Subito Tempo I. This is

music for nine musicians related to the film (to accompany it or
inspired by it?) and this is an arrangement for alto saxophone and
piano created for Arno Bornkamp. It is in the style of Rudy Wiedoeft.

melodic vehicle for the alto saxophone, Amendment offers flowing lines

minor modalities. The center section of the work begins with rapid
triplets in the piano before the saxophone enters with a rhythmically
charged variation upon the initial theme. Following a climax on F-sharp
major, the motion settles into a restatement of the lovely B
major/minor theme before ending on a sweet-sounding B major triad.

composer wrote: With the contrasting and complimentary ingredients of
both piety and playfulness thoughtfully put in place, it is the intent
of Rêverie to conjure the heart of Poulenc's musical form. Rêverie is a
work that combines harmonic inventiveness, melodic poignancy and
rhythms sprinkled with mischievous pulses. While the work does pay
homage to the master with reverence, it simultaneously summons a fresh,
new perspective of these old, familiar forms—these 'ships' of our
pasts." Click here

listened to
a performance of the original version on YouTube I thought it would
sound good (better even) on saxophone. Himie Voxman must have thought
the same thing!

Mantras Concerto
for Soprano/Alto

both instruments simultaneously during a cadenza in the middle of the
piece as well as vocalize while playing several times. It is a profound
synthesis of Prangcharoen's native Thai soundworld and Western
symphonic tradition, Maha Mantras is based on pentatonic themes tinged
with highly ornate and chromatic shadings. The work's title indicates a
magnification and development of the composer's earlier work Mantras,
both compositions inspired by the creation of music as a healing force.

/ 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.

S828: Variations on
Taki's "Kojo No Tsuki" for Alto
Saxophone and Piano
by Takefusa Sasamori. Peer Music, 1963, SS, 7 + 3 pages. Takefusa
Sasamori (1928-) is Japanese composer and music educator who studied in
Japan and the United States. In 1961, while studying under Henry Cowell
at the Manhattan Conservatory, Sasamori was decided to compose this
piece for Sigurd Rascher and his skill in the altissimo. The resulting
work is a set of Variations on a popular Japanese folksong composed in
1901 by pianist and songwriter Rentaro Taki. "Kojo No Tsuki" which
means "Moon over the Ruins of a Castle." Sasamori sets Taki's
characteristically Japanese melody in a Western compositional style
through an exploration of polyphony and chromaticism. Contrary to
traditional form, the theme appears climactically after the third (of
five) variations in the altissimo range of the saxophone. The theme
which is slow and could probably be played down an octave is the only
section with altissimo above F-sharp.

S411: Renewing the Myth for alto saxophone and piano
by Marilyn Shrude, saxophone part edited by John Sampen. Editions Henry
Lemoine, 1998, SS, 18 + 7 pages. This piece was written for John Sampen
in 1988 by Marilyn Shrude who is Distinguished Artist Professor of
Music at Bowling Green State College. It exploits both the theme and
the legend of Paganini's 24th Caprice for violin. Germinal motives from
the Caprice are introduced in both the saxophone and piano and become
increasingly complex in a mildly atonal framework. The cadenza
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.

S162: Sonatine
Sportive for Alto Saxophone and
Piano by Alexandre Tcherepnine. Alphonse Leduc, 1943, SS, 10
+ 4 pages. This piece is unusual in that it has a sports theme. The
first
movement (Lutte) is a boxing match between the saxophone and the piano

(Mi-temps) is a rest the two players are taking in the midst of the
competition. The third movement (Course) is a race in the form of canon
with the saxophone in the lead and the piano trying to catch up. This
college level piece should be very entertaining. Here is a
video. [We have another
sports related piece, Yellow Jersey, for two
clarinets.]

performer!) includes the unusual instruction that the saxophonist and
the piano should be as far apart from each other as possible. Upper

S372: Souvenir:
Toccata for Soprano Saxophone and
Piano by Robert Walker. Maecenas, (written in)
1994, SS, 16 + 3
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. .
. I wrote them this, literally as a souvenir of their stay in Bali. It
is a joyful piece, with no deeper meaning than to portray a little of
the country, incorporating some Balinese rhythms and modes." It appears
that most of the Balinese flavor is found in the piano part which has
some tricky although frequently repeated rhythms. The saxophone part is
straight forward and early college level at most. Duration about 4
minutes.

The composer writes, "Between
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.
