Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The repertoire selected for this Master of Music lecture recital represents a variety of musical styles composed by composers of diverse backgrounds. Each selection discussed is considered a significant piece of saxophone literature for a variety of reasons. Composer Benjamin Gutiérrez was born in 1937 and is a highly respected and successful Costa Rican composer. Rapsodia para Saxofón Alto y Orquesta was composed in 1974. This work represents the first major classical saxophone piece ever written by a Costa Rican composer. The piece is dedicated to Costa Rican classical saxophone pioneer Norman Calderón. Fernande Decruck, born in France in 1896, was a female composer who studied at the Paris Conservatory. Her major works for saxophone were primarily dedicated to French saxophone pioneer Marcel Mule, including her Sonate en Ut# pour Saxophone Alto et Orchestre which was composed in 1943. Karel Husa, a world renown composer and Pulitzer Prize winner, was born in 1921 in the Czech Republic. He passed away in 2016 in the United States. Husa had a very successful career in France as a composer and as a conductor. His passion, however, was composition. He taught composition at Cornell University and spent the remainder of his life in America leaving behind a legacy of highly regarded compositions. Élégie et Rondeau pour Alto Saxophone et Orchestre was premiered by German and American saxophone pioneer Sigurd Raschèr. Robert Muczynski was a prominent American composer and pianist who was born in Chicago in 1929. He was a talented musician and composer who worked with numerous musicians who commissioned pieces from him due to his national and international successes. The Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano, Op. 29 represents one of his commissioned pieces. The composition was commissioned by saxophonist Trent Kynaston, who asked Muczynski to compose a piece to be premiered at the 2nd World Saxophone Congress in Chicago in 1970. Since its premiere, the Sonata has become part of the standard classical saxophone repertoire.

Download or read book Analysis of a Master of Music Recital written by Michael Meier and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saxophone is a versatile instrument utilized in a variety of musical styles. Paul Creston's Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra, Claude Debussy's Rhapsodie pour Orchestre et Saxophone, and Edison Denisov's Sonate pour Saxophone Alto et Piano are among some of the most important, original works for saxophone. The saxophone can also effectively be utilized in music from earlier time periods. For example, the saxophone is capable of producing tonal colors that closely mirror tonal colors associated with string instruments. These parallels make transcriptions of the Six Suites for Solo Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach particularly effective when performed on saxophone. This master's report, presented as extended program notes, includes biographical information about the composers, a stylistic overview of the selected works, and thoughtful performance considerations.

Download or read book Analysis of a Recital written by Christopher Gugel and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1838, Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax created the saxophone. The saxophone was officially patented on June 24, 1846. Sax became the first Professor of Saxophone at the Conservatoire de Paris. This conservatoire has been and continues to be a historically important school of music in Europe. There have been four saxophone professors at the Conservatoire National Supèrieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris since the instrument's creation. These professors include: Adolphe Sax (1814-1894), Marcel Mule (1901-2001), Daniel Deffayet (1922-2002), and Claude Delangle (born 1957). Each instructor has championed the saxophone to new heights by refining pedagogical approaches and by advocating for the creation of new saxophone compositions. The music examined in this document represents pieces composed for each of the four saxophone professors who have taught at the Conservatoire de Paris. Paul-Agricole Génin's composition Variations sur un thème espagnol: pour saxophone alto et piano was inspired by Adolphe Sax, Fernande Decruck composed Sonata in C-Sharp for Alto Saxophone and Piano (1943) for Marcel Mule, Ida Gotkovsky wrote Variations pathétiques: pour Saxophone Alto et Piano (1980) for Daniel Deffayet, and Sequenza IX for Alto Saxophone (1980) by Luciano Berio was dedicated to Claude Delangle. All of these pieces demonstrate how composers continually strive to expand the boundaries of the skilled saxophonists' musical style, technical facility, and overall flexibility on the saxophone. This master's report, presented as extended program notes, includes biographical information about the composers, a historical and stylistic overview of the selected compositions, and a harmonic and formal analysis of the music with respect to performance considerations.

Book excerpt: A "fakebook" is a collection of melodies with the chord changes that allows jazz musicians to read the tunes instead of playing solely by ear and memory. It is, then, a place to start, a structure upon which jazz improvisation, "faking," builds. As a young man, the author, a jazz saxophone player, tried to make a living at what he loved most. He failed, gave up jazz and became a college English professor. Today he is playing his saxophone again, at weekend gigs, rediscovering the unending challenge and the fulfillment that jazz brings him. This journey of self-discovery demonstrates the power of both jazz and superbly crafted writing.
