Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Tenor
