Shining rays stream from the 'Messe de sainte Cecile'. At first people were dazzled, then bewitched, then overcome. This is how the composer Camille Saint-Saens described his impression of what was probably Charles Gounod's best-known setting of the mass. The work written in 1855 in honor of the patron saint of church music, soon became well-known beyond the borders of France and acquired a degree of popularity like almost no other sacred composition. In the Messe de sainte Cecile, Gounod combines sublime simplicity with operatic-dramatic elements and a colorful, effective orchestration. Critical edition in proven Carus quality. Score available separately - see item CA.2709500.

Saint-Saëns was a great admirer of the symphonic poems by Franz Liszt. His own symphonic poem “Danse macabre†reflects not only his affinity to medieval superstitions but also constitutes a tribute to Liszt’s “Totentanzâ€.“Danse macabre†is based on the eponymous song Saint-Saëns composed in 1872 after Henri Cazalis’ poem. At its premiere, the work was not well-received; in fact it was booed, possibly due to the “diabolic†solo violin playing on an E-string that was tuned down to E-flat, which the audience might have misinterpreted as being out of tune. However within ten years the work had become so popular that Saint-Saëns quoted some of its musical themes in “The Carnival of the Animalsâ€. Since the composer’s death, “Danse macabre†is among the works most often mentioned in connection with the theatrical face of death found in popular mortuary cult.

Die franzosische Musik der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts stand ganz im Zeichen zweier Pole: Oper und Salon. Die weitgehende Missachtung der Instrumentalmusik tragt die Verantwortung fur das falsche Licht, in dem viele franzosische Meister dieser Zeit immer noch erscheinen. Unter ihnen kommt vor allem Charles-Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) grosste Bedeutung zu, dessen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gattung des Solokonzerts von weit uber die Grenzen Frankreichs hinausreichendem Einfluss war.Diese Arbeit korrigiert das heutige Bild Saint-Saens' in wesentlichen Punkten und macht deutlich, dass sein konzertantes Oeuvre zum Besten gehort, was die franzosische Romantik hervorgebracht hat.Uber den analytischen Teil hinaus, der durch zahlreiche Notenbeispiele erganzt wird, enthalt der Band die erste vollstandige Biographie des Komponisten in deutscher Sprache; ausfuhrliche Biographie, thematisches Verzeichnis der untersuchten Werke und vor allem eine chronologische Tabelle von nahezu 200 franzosischen Solokonzerten der Zeit machen den Band zu einer wertvollen Quelle fur die Musikgeschichtsschreibung des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.Eb Saxophone:Mainly Transcriptions:Sonata op. 3, no. 5 - Giovanni Benedetto Platti, arr.
