Also available for Alto (SP827). Songs for Claire is intended to portray a life journey with all the joys and trials that may be encountered. From a personal point of view it was written in memory of my childhood best friend Claire who sadly died of cancer aged 10. I think most people will be able to relate to the moods of the three movements and draw from their ownlife experiences in order to create the expression desired.Living Life begins with a pure and innocent piano introduction where life twinkles into being. The performers should aim for a sweetness and pure innocence. At this stage there have been no challenges and trials. Try to see this through theeyes of a child. At bar 71 we should be able to soar with the sheer exuberance and joy of life. Themood begins to take a downward turn via the piano there after bar 91. This is where situations begin to take a turn for the worse with much more agitation and a darker emotion takes over.Troubled Times now takes us onto a road that we would prefer not to be on everything should be quite agitated and restless. I had a strong feeling in this movement that it should show a battle of wills within; trying to stay positive (the sweeter timbral trills) and trying to fight the ever nagging negative thoughts. Performers should feel able to release fully where the score is marked 'desperately' because these are the cries of one who is struggling to keep fighting. At letter E the pianist should play almost with anger with strong stress to accented notes. At letter H the timbral trills stop abruptly and this indicates that the struggle is over if you imagine a heart monitoring machine that suddenly gives out is length monotone indicating the end of life. The rest of the movement relaxesinto the peace of the final movement.Flying Free is similar in feel to Living Life. You will see that the initial theme is reversed. In the first movement we see the theme very introverted probably as we often look inwards in life. In

Hermann Regner, compositeur, professeur de musique et élève de Orff, tourné 80 le 12 mai. Il est plutôt actif dans le domaine de la littérature de l'enseignement facile-à-play. Avec des moyens faciles de la nouvelle musique, il veut stimuler l'imagination des joueurs. Par son ' Suite ', il tout d'abord veut apporter une contribution au répertoire ' classiques ' saxophone. Composé de 5 mouvements (Gehüpft und gesprungen - Bedächtig schreitend - Rundtanz - Blues - Taktwechsler), la composition rend les références à l'origine de la suite classique comme une séquence de danses. La difficulté modérée de la partie de saxophone ainsi que le paramètre piano plutôt facile en font un choix idéal pour les auditions et les compétitions de travail. / Saxophone Tenor Et Piano

Alt Wiener Tanzweisen' (Old Viennesse dance tunes) sont jolies miniatures, dynamiques et accrocheurs (second celui avec un colorant légèrement élégiaque), mais tous ont charme mélodique et élégance musical. Et les propos de Kreisler un sur son Quatuor A du mineur s'applique également à ces miniatures: ' C'est ma profession d'allégeance à Vienne '. Fritz Kreisler lui-même aimait jouer comme encores et pour de nombreux solistes, ils appartenaient et encore appartiennent à la cerise musicale qui adoucit la fin d'un concert pour le public. / Saxophone En Sib Et Piano
