Ukrainian Folk Carol (often known by another name however) for Eb saxophone (Alto, or Baritone) and piano (or use the enhanced free demo/backing tracks via request after ordering - details are given on your printed sheet music) by UK composers Chris Lawry and Keri Degg.

New for September 2020 this is a very fresh take on this traditional classic and has been launched into a crazy swing/groove style! It\'s a great showstopper and a real joy to play. The piece includes playful interplay and new original material/solo/s.

Ukrainian Folk Carol is just one of five pieces from \'Christmas Jazz - Volume 2\' Eb Saxophone (also available in Bb sax, Bb clarinet, and flute editions) which also includes; Deck the halls (Piazzolla-inspired style), The Holly and the Ivy - a smooshy smooth jazz ballad with original solo/s, Away in a manger - again, a gentle smooth jazz style, and O Holy Night (which has cheeky interplay, yet sweeping original lines too).

There is also a \'Christmas Jazz - Volume 1\' collection by the same composers (which includes; God rest ye merry gentlemen, Silent night, The first nowell, Hark the herald, and I saw three ships - all of which are available on SMP, or search for Christmas Jazz volume 1 if you\'d like to buy the collection at a bargain price).

Lore Ruschiensky, Editor, (from review in "The Canadian Music Teacher") "Yesterday I spent at least two pleasure filled hours playing through your imaginatively inventive compositions. Congratulations! I trust students will decide to program your well crafted and entertaining works on recitals and examinations." Review from Dr. Jack Behrens, B.Sc.

Congratulations on the 3rd Volume". Mark Carlstein, Hal Leonard, Keyboard Publications.

Raaf Hekkema's (*1968) arrangement of the famous work by Paganini was initiated by a commission of the Dutch Noord Nederlands Orkest which asked him to play Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 at a tour. Like its virtuoso counterpart, Capriccio No. 24, the famous last movement La Campanella which had inspired many other composers like Schumann and Liszt reflects, in the version for saxophone, the great wealth of 21st-century saxophone playing - a breathtaking piece full of saxophone acrobatics!
Already available are the famous 24 Capricci Op. 1 by Paganini for solo saxophone (ED 20559). For the CD release of this work, the virtuoso Dutch saxophonist was awarded the Echo Klassik Award in the category of 'Best Instrumentalist of the Year' in 2007.
