en 4 cahiers / in 4 books-Born in Tunisia in 1952 Christian Lauba has been a prominent contemporary composer winning many prizes since his graduation from the Conservatory of Bordeaux during the mid-1980s. Lauba is particularly noted for his compositions and teaching guides for the Saxophone such as Nine Studies for Saxophones. Composed betweem 1992 and 1994 Nine Studies for Saxophones won Lauba the SACEM prize in composition. The first volume contains the first four studies; 1) Balafon 2) Savane 3) Sanza and 4) Jungle. Nine Studies for Saxophones is very modern in style exploiting extended techniques ofthe Saxophone to the maximum. These include multiphonic sounds subtones slap-tongue harmonics flutter tonguing double tonguing slaps and key noises. With modern classical music becoming more and more prominent within the genre Lauba's Nine Studies for Saxophones is essential to all saxophonists.

Cette adaptation propose une version ' allégée ' conçue à partir de l'oeuvre originale de Christian Lauba.Le tempo est un peu plus lent pour donner plus de ' groove ' et la durée est considérablement réduite.Cette forme courte est à jouer en pensant à conserver l'esprit de la forme d'une grille de Blues. / Saxophone Alto

for Alto Saxophone and Electroacoustics-Thierry Alla’s Birds for Alto Saxophone and Electroacoustics. Born in March 1955 in Algiers Thierry Alla did the greater part of his studies at the University of Tours and the Conservatoire of Bordeaux where he was marked by Michel Fusté-Lambezat’s teaching of musical composition and the discovery of Electroacoustics with Christian Eloy. His double career as musicologist (with a thesis on Tristan Murail) and composer allows him to explore spectral music such as in Sanctuaires a 2009 concerto for Saxophone and orchestra that delves into micro-intervals. Composed two years later Birds for AltoSaxophone and Electroacoustics explores a lush sound universe that holds its own in a rich tradition that goes from Josquin Desprez to Rameau to Messiaen. The Saxophone’s evocative sounds obtained using diverse techniques (flatterzunge breath techniques keys sounds) mingle with those of the Electroacoustic recording and weave a dense polyphony. Far from servile imitation this evocation of birdsong reveals a sound imagination that is breathtakingly sensual: this abundance is life itself.

Gush for Alto Saxophone was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 1974. Edited by Christian Ancher Grøn.
