Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.

“Love Drunk (Folk Songs, Set No. 16B) was commissioned by Thomas Jones and completed in July 2014. This is the sixteenth set of an ongoing cycle of Persian folk songs that Reza Vali has been composing since 1978. The work's four songs (songs without words) reflect upon different aspects of love. In song No. 1, Longing, the lover is longing for a reunion with the beloved. Song No. 2, In Memory of a Lost Beloved, is a dialogue, across the dimensions, between the deceased beloved and the grieving lover. The song reflects upon the grief of separation--in this case, separation by death. The sensual and the spiritual aspects of love intersect in song No. 3, The Girl from Shiraz. The melodies of the third song are accompanied by quotes from the Christmas carol Silent Night, Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, and Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time. The final song No. 4, Love Drunk, describes the intoxicating joy when the lovers meet.”.
