This incredible group, on their self-titled first recording, melds the finest choral technique with true depth of emotion, creating a not-to-be-missed listening experience. Recorded just days before COVID-19 abruptly altered the semester at Oakwood University and released in the midst of the pandemic, coupled with heightened racial tensions across the U.S. and beyond, The Aeolians seeks to bring hope to so many who are in need. Conductor Jason Max Ferdinand writes, “You, our audience should be provoked, challenged, and leave with optimism—the type of optimism that Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King possessed. We, the Aeolians, are no longer satisfied with solely displaying musical prowess. Coupling hope with mastery could be the combination that produces uncompromising societal transformation. We have programmed this music, hoping to appeal to the mind, but not leaving the heart untouched.” CONTENTS: Forever Music (Hayes) • Smile (arr.

The slow movement from Benson’s Concertino, Aeolian Song has long been a standard in the saxophone repertoire, and for good reason. It is entrancingly beautiful, and a joy to play. Typically heard for alto saxophone and piano, this publication introduces Benson’s alternate version adding an equally gratifying soprano saxophone part in dialog with the alto. This newly-available version is fully compatible with the existing accompaniments for orchestra and for wind ensemble.
Of the many solo works composed for Sigurd Raschèr, the saxophone’s original pioneer and virtuoso, few have attained the popularity of Warren Benson’s CONCERTINO, and in particular, its second movement.Marked slowly, peacefully, this drone-based tour de force of harmony, unchanging yet remaining ever-fresh, has taken on a thriving life of its own as a solo work in scorings with wind ensemble, orchestra, and piano reduction, known by the movement’s original subtitle, AEOLIAN SONG.Less familiar is an extra bonus Benson added when creating the orchestral version of the concertino. While the first and third movement were adapted as a direct rescoring of the original wind ensemble accompaniment, the composer added a soprano saxophone obbligato in the second movement of the orchestral version, specifically as an opportunity for the soloist’s daughter, the equally celebrated saxophonist and pedagogue Carina Raschèr, to perform alongside her father. The added soprano part works beautifully in dialog with the standard solo alto part, and is equally compatible with all three scorings of the movement.Theodore Presser Company is grateful to Professor Stephen C. Page of The University of Texas at Austin, for rediscovering and encouraging us to publish the resulting version for two saxophones and the original piano reduction, and for his supervision of this edition.A performance of this version featuring Dr. Page may be heard on all major streaming platforms.

Over the years, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen with its simple, plaintive melody and joyous words, has become a holiday favorite in the world over. Although this traditional English carol is often said to be in a minor key, it is actually in the Aeolian mode, (also known as natural minor), which is different from the more common harmonic form of minor in that the Aeolian mode's leading tone is a whole step from the tonic.The encouraging words of this carol are an inspiration to people everywhere.
