Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.Eb Saxophone:Mainly Transcriptions:Sonata, op. 2, no. 1 - Benedetto Marcello, arr.

This quartet for saxophones, entitled Introduction and Variations on a Popular Rondo by Gabriel Pierné, is a standard in the saxophone quartet repertoire. Composed in 1934 and dedicated to the Marcel Mule Quartet, this piece for advanced players is as bright and cheerful as a round dance should be, and yet, quite delicate and light in terms of writing. With many ornaments and variations, Introduction and Variations begins slowly but is interrupted twice by the rondo. Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) won the Prix de Rome in 1882. The composer wrote many chamber compositions, piano pieces, symphonic music and some oratorios.

Rikudim (Hebrew for Dances) is a four-part dance suite based on Jewish music. By using eastern intervals and irregular time changes, the composer succeeds in creating a slightly melancholy but specifically Jewish flavoured piece.Rikudim (Hebreeuws voor â??dansenâ??) is een vierdelige suite van op joodse muziek gebaseerde dansen. Door het gebruik van oosters aandoende toonafstanden en onregelmatige maatsoorten is de componist erin geslaagd om enerzijds een vleugjemelancholie en anderzijds een specifiek joods tintje in deze muziek te verweven. De duidelijk omlijnde themaâ??s en de soms verrassende, maar soms ook weer natuurlijk overkomende harmonisaties geven deze â??gestileerde volksdansenâ?? een directezeggingskracht.Die vierteilige Suite Rikudim (hebräisch für Tanzenâ??) besteht aus von der jüdischen Musik inspirierten Tänzen. Durch den Gebrauch von orientalisch anmutenden Tonintervallen und unregelmäÃ?igen Taktarten ist es dem Komponisten gelungen, indieser Musik einerseits einen Hauch Melancholie, andererseits spezifisch jüdische Elemente miteinander zu verschmelzen. Die deutlich bestimmten Themen und die bisweilen sehr überraschenden und natürlichen Harmonien bewirken, dass diese stilisiertenVolkstänze ihre Botschaft sehr direkt vermitteln.Rikudim (de lhébreu rikud, danse) est une suite de quatre danses originales inspirées de la musique traditionnelle juive. Lutilisation dune structure tonale orientale, lintroduction de mesures irréguliéres et la richesse sonore delorchestration apportent cette Å?uvre une teinte mélancolique mais surtout une grande authenticité. Les thémes trés inspirés sont clairement différenciés. Lharmonisation quelquefois surprenante sans jamais être dénaturée confére ces quatredanses originales juives une grande richesse dexpression.
