Saxophone study material that is aimed at musical expression and sound, instead of virtuosity is always in short supply. Most existing study books offer too little opportunity to apply the learned technique for its actual purpose - making music. These New Concert Studies meet the demand for teaching the art of making music. The book contains fifteen studies that put emphasis on interpretation and performance. The pieces have been written by a number of leading composers and their various approaches make practising these studies a good way to widen your musical horizons. The books comes with a demo CD featuring Nobuya Sugawa showing exactly how it should be done. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Etudes et exercices / Répertoire / Saxophone Alto

Piano Reduction including solo part. Par DENISOV EDISON. The catalogue of Edison Denisov's works includes 16 concertos. It was a genre to which he returned time and again throughout his life, from the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra of 1972 to the Double Concerto for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra of 1996. In Denisov's music the role of the soloist, or rather the protagonist, is extraordinarily important, not so much for its virtuosity as for its confessional character. The solo part is a monologue distinguished by poetic diction and a very personal message from the composer. The dramaturgical conception of the Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra, a reworking of the Viola Concerto of 1986, draws on traditional sonata form, thereby reaffirming the ubiquitous classicism in Denisov's thought. In this late work, we find all the typical features of his style: sinuous melodic lines layered into dense contrapuntal textures, and an interplay of orchestral colours, with pure sonorities contrasting with complex mixtures of sounds. It is a perfect dramaturgy that governs the evolution of the music to the very end. The first movement assumes the role of a sonata-allegro, with the standard formal sections of exposition, development, recapitulation and coda. The second movement is an Adagio for strings. The third takes the form of a little contrasting intermezzo that introduces both new thematic material and a new range of colours. Here tunefulness gives way to pointillism enriched with sonic effects. The only movement with a virtuosic solo part, its nervousness and inner tension set it worlds apart from the second and fourth movements that surround it. The fourth movement assumes the traditional form of a final set of variations. It is the dramaturgical and semantic heart of the concerto. The theme of the variations is Franz Schubert's Impromptu in B-flat major, op. 142, which in this case is 'born' from the celesta as the product of a dodecaphonic string cluster. This finale represents Denisov's homage to his great mentor, Schubert's music being for him a symbol of eternal and universal beauty. 'The attentive listener', Denisov stressed, 'will recognise that the Impromptu theme is already suggested very slowly in the course of the three preceding movements, not only thematically, but also psychologically. That's what makes the appearance of the Schubert theme sound so natural.' The variations relate to the variation genre less in their form than in their spiritual and conceptual metamorphoses. It is, one might say, 'music round about Schubert'. (Ekaterina Kouprovskaia-Denisova)/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Par PELLEGRINO MICHEL. Dans un précédent ouvrage*, nous avions exposé la présence du saxophone à la source du jazz, et détaillé son utilisation depuis le style 'New Orleans' jusqu'à la naissance et la maturité du style 'Swing', de Chicago à New York... Dans les décennies qui vont suivre, le saxophone va devenir prépondérant dans la musique de jazz, et détrôner progressivement la clarinette. Il sera tout d'abord la vedette des grands orchestres swing dédiés à la danse (Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman...) et par la suite, grâce au talent des saxophonistes emblématiques de cette période (Don Byas, Art Pepper, Zoot Sims, et tant d'autres...), il prendra la place déterminante que l'on connaît, au sein de formations plus petites (quartets, quintets, sextets...), et forgera progressivement le style 'Bebop'. Les grands 'boppers', tels Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, ou Cannonball Adderley, installeront définitivement le saxophone comme un symbole du jazz. Parallèlement à ce style virtuose et fougueux qu'est le 'bop', se développe également un style plus mélodique et plus suave, le 'West Coast' qui, comme son nom l'indique, naît sur la côte Ouest des Etats-Unis, et se fait représenter plus principalement par des musiciens blancs : Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond... Nous avons essayé de présenter ces courants musicaux si différents dans cet ouvrage, en illustrant des 'standards' très connus de l'histoire du jazz avec des exemples d'improvisations dans les styles respectifs de ces grands saxophonistes. Sur le CD accompagnant le livre, vous trouverez donc en première partie les morceaux enregistrés à titre d'exemple, avec le modèle de saxophone utilisé par le musicien de référence (alto, ténor ou baryton...). Mais la méthode présente les partitions en Sib et Mib, ce qui permet de les travailler quel que soit le saxophone que vous jouez. En deuxième partie du CD figure l'accompagnement seul, par la 'rythmique' (piano, contrebasse, batterie), sur lequel vous pourrez tester le morceau que vous aurez préalablement travaillé avec l'exemple de la première partie. Un 'La' (440 Hz) est donné au début du CD, pour vous permettre de vous accorder. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, nous avons réuni quelques éléments qui nous paraissaient importants pour l'apprentissage des 'codes' du jazz : biographies des musiciens, principaux effets du jazz au saxophone, les accords utilisés dans la méthode, les gammes pentatoniques et blues, ainsi que les grilles de blues et 'd'anatoles' déclinés dans toutes les tonalités. Un petit lexique expose aussi quelques mots-clés, pour une meilleure compréhension (les mots figurant dans le lexique sont écrits en gras). Continuons donc le voyage au pays du jazz... Bon travail, et bonne musique ! / variété - jazz / Méthode / Saxophone

Technique - Style - Improvisation. Par O'NEILL JOHN. Since it was first published in 1992, The Jazz Method for Saxophone has guided thousands of beginners of all ages from producing their first note on the saxophone to the performance of full-blown jazz pieces, including pieces by contemporary composers. Based on the tried and tested format of the original method (with step-by-step guidance and a number of pieces specially written for this series), the revised edition is packed with updated content. It also comes complete with exciting new tunes, re-recorded audio tracks and over 2 hours of demo tracks available as free MP3 downloads. Now there is also a greater emphasis on the development of improvisational and listening skills. Thanks to additional suggestions for listening and reading as well as an appendix with all chord sequences for the 'live' accompaniment of the melodies, the 'Jazz Methods' are ideal for both pupils studying by themselves and for pupils learning with a teacher. '...a rare opportunity for a new player (or a more experienced one) to develop a really musical facility. A rare addition to the jazz improvising library.' (Lee Konitz, international jazz saxophone soloist) / Date parution : 2024-01-26/ Méthode / Saxophone
