Jack Brymer premièred this work originally called 'Sopsonare' in 1973 at the American School at St. John's Wood playing on Michael Krein's Selmer soprano saxophone. This Sonata the first composition for saxophone by Colin Cowles was inspired by the acquisition of a soprano saxophone whilst teaching in Hemel Hempstead in the early 1970s. Although having played on a simple system soprano as a boy (an instrument borrowed from and taught him by his father) this re-introduction to the instrument was to kindle a life-long love of the complete saxophone family and the composition of an almost endless 'library' of works for it at all levels. It was also at a time whenthe composers had made recent acquaintance with the eminent saxophonist Peter Ripper and had been introduced to the saxophone quartet by the recently formed London Saxophone Quartet whose leader Paul Harvey was to play this Sonata and the Elegy for Soprano Saxophone and String Orchestra. He in fact premiered the latter work which Jack Brymer then played in public on a number of occasions. It was recorded by Peter Ripper with the composer at the piano at the BBC Maida Vale Studios. It is a totally non-esoteric work but like so much of the composer's music it is fun and approachable bearing repetition without becoming tedious. The composer has always favoured the Bb saxophones (soprano and tenor) which is reflected by his output. Of particular note are: • Concerto for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra• In Memoriam for Tenor Saxophone and String Orchestra• Sonata for Tenor Saxophone and Piano • Three Bala Sketches for Tenor Saxophone and Piano. This Sonata for Soprano Saxophone and Piano and the Elegy for Soprano Saxophone and Strings are particular favourites of the composer.

He wrote numerous pieces including 'Daphnis and Chloé' and the famous 'Bollero'.

RANT! is a portrait of the saxophonist Jess Gillam: her energy, her sound and her presence, painted in music from her own part of England. A ?rant? in the tradition of English folk music is an energetic dance and means ?to make merry? a reflection of Jess?s fearless and exuberant performances. RANT! draws on Cumbrian folk tunes sourced from Ed Heslam?s unique folk music resource Music of Cumberland and Westmoreland, as well as several tunes composed by Ed himself. This advanced piece is suitable for soprano saxophone or clarinet with piano accompaniment.

À moins de sept minutes de longueur, ce travail techniquement difficile a fait un usage efficace de nature puissante et expressive de la sax soprano tout en équilibre avec succès matériel énergique et exubérant. Divisé en deux sections principales, la première permet les deux instrumentistes d'afficher les éléments de virtuosité et d'agilité tandis que la seconde explore les instruments plus de qualités lyriques.

Par HERBIET VICTOR. Élégie automnale a été inspirée par les paysages pittoresques de la saison éponyme dans la région de la Capitale Nationale du Canada. Imprégnée du style impressionniste, l’œuvre évoque une promenade solitaire dans les bois où les passages descendants au piano représentent les feuilles qui tombent et la mélodie du saxophone est une fenêtre dans l’âme du passant./ Répertoire / Saxophone en Sib et Piano
