Initially composed in 1907 for Bass Voice and Piano Habanera by Maurice Ravel was transcribed for Bb Soprano Saxophone and Piano for this edition. Based on a Cuban Contradanza it features a special habanera rhythm and is generally performed with sung lyrics. In this edition the Saxophone is a substitute for the Voice. While composing this piece Maurice Ravel was also working on two works with Spanish influence: 'The Spanish Rhapsody' and 'The Spanish Hour'. This edition which can be used for recitals and exams will enlighten Saxophone players. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is a French composeris really famous for his Impressionist contributions. He wrote numerous pieces including 'Daphnis and Chloé' and the famous 'Bollero'.

Conducteur et parties Saxophone Quartet (SATB) The Three Songs (Trois Chansons) dating from 1914/15 were arranged for four a cappella voices by Ravel immediately after he had written the music of these pieces. The lyrics were penned by the composer himself. The songs represent Ravel’s sole contribution to choral literature. The first song consists of three sections and tells the story of Nicolette, who sets out to pick flowers in the fields. Just like Little Red Ridinghood, she meets a wolf who asks her if she is on her way to her grandmother’s house (M.1-13). Fleeing from him, she meets a page who wonderswhether she would like to have him as her “lover true”. She dismisses his proposition though she finds it hard to do so (M. 14-39). In the third section, she encounters a plump, unhandsome man (lento!). He speaks to her:”Stay, stay, my Nicolette, all this gold I give to thee”, and - “VIVO” - Nicolette takes refuge in his arms. (M.40 to end). The Three Lovely Birds from Paradise are sky-blue, white as fallen snow and bright red - just like the colors of the Tricolore, the national flag of France - which has been interpreted in many reviews as a sign of an increasingly nationalistic attitude becoming apparent in the war year of 1914. This song mourns the loss of the beloved one who went to war. The Ronde is also made up of three sections. The old women are the first to sing (M.1-28). They warn the young maidens against entering the forest since it is inhabited by all kinds of dangerous (male) beasts. Then (M. 29 – 56) the old men warn the young lads against going into the woods because of the numerous (female) demons living there. The irony of the story is to be found in the final answer of the young people (as of M. 57), who conclude: “We will not go into the woods since the old folks have frightened off all the beasts, anyway.”

No fewer than 250 years of musical history are reviewed in this volume beginning with the master composer Johann Sebastian Bach and culminating with Maurice Ravel. In order to assist in the study of the faster works the CD provides accompaniment tracks at a slower tempo for ease of practising as well as at the composerâ??s specified speed for the finished performance.The piano accompaniment can be ordered separately: F 822-401

5 pièces enfantines. Par RAVEL MAURICE / ENZEL CHRISTOPH. 5 Pièces Enfantines/ Répertoire / 4 Saxophones (SATBar)

This exciting Sonata follows the journey of a traveller in San Antonio and his experience of a hot afternoon retold through the melodious Alto Saxohone with Piano accompaniment.

Avec son cycle pour piano 'Tableaux d'une exposition' à partir de 1874, Moussorgski a créé un exemple classique de la musique à programme. Sur la base des peintures de son défunt ami Viktor Hartmann, il a également composé la sérénade lyrique 'Il vecchio castello' (The Old Castle), entre autres. Hartmann image montre un château médiéval italien avec un troubadour chantant qui s'accompagne au luth. Dans Maurice Ravel version ultérieure d'orchestre célèbre, la belle, la mélodie mélancolique a été joué par le saxophone alto. Accompagnement, prélude et interludes sont pas sans rappeler la lecture d'un vielle médiévale avec son bourdon ambiant. C'est là que réside la continuité de la pièce, se trouve surjacent la romance tranquille avec son caractère mélancolique - de l'amour non partagé du troubadour. Cette édition séparée donne désormais tous les saxophonistes l'occasion de jouer la pièce avec accompagnement de piano. / Saxophone Et Piano
