Both a
spectacular concerto for
saxophone, and a dramatic
tone poem on Roman
mythology, QUICKSILVER is
a 23-minute concerto for
Alto Saxophone and Wind
Ensemble by one of the
sax literature’s
most commissioned and
admired composers.Through
worded captions as well
as gorgeously expressive
tone painting, Movement 1
depicts the birth and
childhood pranks of
Mercury, Movement 2 shows
him escorting souls to
the gates of the
Underworld, and Movement
3 is a phantasmagoric
finale portraying Mercury
as messenger amid the
conflicts of other
mythological figures.
There are many YouTube
performances available,
both in the original
version with Wind
Ensemble, and with
Piano. In addition to
being another name for
the element mercury,
“quicksilverâ€
is used to describe
something that changes
quickly or is difficult
to contain. My concerto
of the same name was
inspired by the Roman god
Mercury, as well as the
mercurial nature of the
saxophone: unpredictable,
very lively, and
volatile. Mercury (known
as Hermes in Greek
mythology) is best known
for his winged shoes,
which allowed him to fly
swiftly as the messenger
of his fellow Olympians.
Mercury had other duties
too, including serving as
the god of merchants,
travelers, and
tricksters; he also
ushered souls of the
departed to the
Underworld.Quicksilver
tells three tales of the
Roman god. The first
movement (Antics of a
Newborn God) opens with
the birth of Mercury;
after he takes his first
steps, he toddles around,
gleefully looking for
mischief. He stumbles
across a herd of cows
that belong to his
brother Apollo; Mercury
slyly lets the cows out
of their pen before
toddling onward with his
mischief-making.In the
second movement (Guiding
Souls to the Underworld),
Pluto, god of the
Underworld, bids Mercury
to bring him fresh souls.
The movement begins with
death-knells tolling for
humans who are about to
die; Mercury picks up
these souls and leads
them down to the gates of
the Underworld.The third
and final movement
(Messenger of Olympus)
depicts Mercury as he is
busily running errands
for various gods and
goddesses. We first
encounter him mid-flight
as he dashes to earth to
find Aeneas, a Trojan
lieutenant who had been
run out of Troy by the
invading Greeks. Aeneas
is on a quest to find
land on which to
establish a new city that
would eventually become
Rome. While traveling, he
is distracted from his
quest when he meets the
beautiful queen Dido.
They live together for
many years before Mercury
intervenes; he chastises
Aeneas for giving up on
his quest and persuades
him to pick it up again.
As Aeneas mournfully
resumes his journey, we
hear Dido perish of a
broken heart. Mercury
then takes to the skies
to seek out Perseus, who
is preparing to kill
Medusa, the hideous
gorgon who has snakes for
hair and a gaze that
turns those who catch her
glance into stone.
Mercury advises Perseus
on how to slay Medusa and
lends Perseus his sword
to do the deed. We hear
Perseus victorious in the
beheading of Medusa,
after which Mercury takes
to the skies once more to
fly home to Olympus.

With
this three-movement
sonatina, the Orff
student Hermann Regner
contributes again his
share to modern teaching
and competition
literature. In three
movements (Allegro,
Larghetto, Animato), this
sonatina for alto
saxophone and piano
provides a cheerful and
varied music that leaves
enough creative scope.
The moderately difficult
piano part allows for the
accompaniment by a pupil
or student. Thus, the
sonatina is also
perfectly suited for
recital evenings.

The
catalogue of Edison
Denisov's works includes
16 concertos. It was a
genre to which he
returned time and again
throughout his life, from
the Concerto for Cello
and Orchestra of 1972 to
the Double Concerto for
Flute, Clarinet and
Orchestra of 1996.In
Denisov's music the role
of the soloist, or rather
the protagonist, is
extraordinarily
important, not so much
for its virtuosity as for
its confessional
character. The solo part
is a monologue
distinguished by poetic
diction and a very
personal message from
thecomposer. The
dramaturgical conception
of the Concerto for
Saxophone and Orchestra,
a reworking of the Viola
Concerto of 1986, draws
on traditional sonata
form, thereby reaffirming
the ubiquitous classicism
in Denisov's thought. In
this late work, we find
all the typical features
of his style: sinuous
melodic lines layered
into dense contrapuntal
textures, and an
interplay of orchestral
colours, with pure
sonorities contrasting
with complex mixtures of
sounds. It is a perfect
dramaturgy that governs
the evolution of the
music to the very end.
The first movement
assumes the role of a
sonata-allegro, with the
standard formal sections
of exposition,
development,recapitulatio
n and coda. The second
movement is an Adagio for
strings. The third takes
the form of a little
contrasting intermezzo
that introduces both new
thematic material and a
new range of colours.
Here tunefulness gives
way to pointillism
enriched with
soniceffects. The only
movement with a virtuosic
solo part, its
nervousness and inner
tension set it worlds
apart from the second and
fourth movements that
surround it. The fourth
movement assumes the
traditional form of a
final set of variations.
It is the dramaturgical
and semantic heart of the
concerto. The theme of
the variations is Franz
Schubert's Impromptu in
B-flat major, op. 142,
which in this case is
'born' from the celesta
as the product of a
dodecaphonic string
cluster. This finale
represents Denisov's
homage to his great
mentor, Schubert's music
being for him a symbol of
eternal and universal
beauty. 'The attentive
listener', Denisov
stressed, 'will recognise
that the Impromptu theme
is already suggested very
slowly in the course of
the three preceding
movements, not only
thematically, but also
psychologically. That's
what makes the appearance
of the Schubert theme
sound so natural.' The
variations relate to the
variation genre less in
their form than in their
spiritual and conceptual
metamorphoses. It is, one
might say, 'music round
about Schubert'.
