Three Pieces Inspired By Douanier Rousseau s Paintings-The Japanese Saxophonist and composer Ryo Noda born in 1948 has placed his musical trajectory under the concept of East Meets West: a crossing of influences illustrated by Murasaki No Fuchi for Saxophone duo in which the shakuhachi can be substituted for one of the Saxophones (AL 25 893). How could he have not felt certain elective affinities between his creation and that of Douanier Rousseau (1844-1910) whose jungle landscapes are the expression of a dreamlike exoticism? Inspired by three of the naïf master's paintings Yume – The Dream for solo Saxophone lets the listener first succumb to the incantation ofThe Snake Charmer (1907): the threnody imitating the flute imbued with mysterious sensuality is echoed in the surrounding Nature just like the pale moonlight reflecting on the surface of the lake. In War (1894) the charred trees and crimson clouds surround the goddess Bellone whose cavalcade is evoked by the 'slap' technique and the devastation by the Saxophone's harsh portamenti. The Dream (1910) shows us this woman nude in the middle of the jungle the state of Nature before the Fall the incarnation of archaic innocence.

French saxophonist Jean-Marie Londeix (b. 1932) graduated from Paris Conservatoire with a First Prize and a Prize of Honour. As a fantastic all-around musician he has a vast experience which makes his study books including Nouvelles Études Variées very well-informed. His career has taken him all over the world and many composers have written works specially for him. As an accomplished teacher of other famous saxophonists he has deduced where the gaps in studies for the instrument are composing six significant books of the kind. Nouvelles Études Variées contains a variety of studies in allkeys based on pre-composed exercises by preceding composers. The Saxophone is exploited to its full potential with Londeix including focus on extreme high notes articulation dynamics tempo phrasing ornamentation accidentals range rhythms and finger work among other aspects. For all advanced saxophonists Nouvelles Études Variées compiled by renowned contemporary saxophonist Jean-Marie Londeix is an essential guide and aid to progression of technique and musicality on the instrument.

Mauricio Sotelo’s Muros de dolor...I (2005) speaks of the pain and sorrow of the soul. The strong and expressive character is achieved via a precisely calculated succession of “micro-intervals” and an expanded palette of “micro-qualities” of the tone. Mauricio Sotelo wrote Muros de dolor…I for saxophonist Marcus Weiss, who supported him significantly in the composition of the work with his knowledge of the saxophone’s capabilities and his experience as an interpreter. A fingering chart for eighth tones for tenor saxophone is contained in UE33034. / Partitions classique / Bois / Saxophone / UNIVERSAL EDITION
