Gabriel Grovlez (1879-1944) studied under Gabriel Fauré at the Paris Conservatoire. His compositions proved to be extremely versatile from Operas and Ballets to solo works. Grovlez's Sarabande et Allegro is a sublime addition to the Alto Saxophone repertoire. Many of the composer's works show neo-classical features which is also the case in Sarabande et Allegro where the texture is predominantly melody-dominated homophony perfect cadences are frequently heard and modulations to related keys occur. Grovlez's F minor Sarabande is in a steady triple meter superbly contrasted by the fast Allegro composed in the relative major. All these features make for a thoroughly enjoyable and delightful performance!

Initially for Saxophone and Orchestra this edition of Élégie Et Rondeau by Karel Husa is for Saxophone and Piano and lasts 10 minutes. Written for advanced players this piece is dedicated to Sigurd M. Rascher. Divided into two very distinct sections the Elegy and the Rondeau the Elegy starts “Quasi improvisando” on a slow tempo (60) and requires some good technique as part of it relies on improvisation. The Rondeau “Allegretto” is also quite challenging and requires a mastering of breathing techniques. Élégie Et Rondeau is a perfect piece toplay for recitals. Karel Husa is a Czech-born conductor and composer who later became an American national. His work is mainly classical and he won the Pulitzer Prize for his contribution to music.
