How do you
learn to improvise? Greg
Yasinitsky's new method
for beginners,
Improvisation 101: Major,
Minor, and Blues, has
been thoroughly tried and
tested in numerous
workshops and classes.
His method is based on
easy-to-play pieces that
each introduce, one at a
time, the building blocks
of jazz, rock, and pop
music. Each tune comes
with sample solos,
improvised and written
out by experienced
musicians. Step-by-step
your skills will develop,
from understanding the
theory, to copying and
elaborating, to playing
and improvising freely.
The included play-along
CD provides you with both
melody and play-along
tracks, as well as sample
solos for each piece.
Improvisation 101: Major,
Minor, and Blues is
available in compatible
editions for B-flat,
E-flat, C, and bass clef
instruments. Further
editions for double bass
/ electric bass, guitar,
and piano also feature
very easy bass lines,
with chords and
accompaniments (guitar
edition includes
TAB).

Dan Welcher’s most
enduringly and frequently
played orchestral work,
Prairie Light is a
fascinating musical
companion to three of
Georgia
O’Keeffe’s
most unusual paintings,
Light Coming on the
Plains, Canyon with
Crows, and Starlight
Night. This work is ideal
for performances using
visual projections of the
paintings, and is
frequently programmed for
subscription concerts as
well as those for
educational settings.
Duration: 14’
Parts available on
rental. This work for
full orchestra was
inspired by three
paintings of the noted
Americanartist Georgia
O’Keeffe. These
three watercolors were
done in 1917 while the
artist was living in
Canyon, Texas (near
Amarillo), and deal
primarily with color and
shape. Consequently, the
music is primarily
concerned with broad
lines and shapes rather
than rhythms, with subtle
washes of color rather
than constant harmonic
movement, and with
arching melody instead of
linear counterpoint.The
first movement, Light
Coming on the Plains, is
an elliptical-shaped
painting, deep blue to
indigo with a
“horizon†at
the bottom that seems
flat and unchanging. The
sun hasn’t risen
yet, although it does in
the course of this
movement, but it seems
instead to be providing
light from behind the
canvas. The music is
unmoving in terms of
rhythm or harmony
(although there is a
modulation midway
through), a color-infused
mantra of sound that is
almost Eastern.At the
height of the sun, we
proceed to the second
movement, entitled Canyon
with Crows. The canyon is
red-orange, with black
crows circling above
friendly unfolding hills.
The music is gentle but
lively and more rhythmic,
with the birds
represented by solo oboe,
clarinet, and sometimes
flute. Halfway through,
the brass have a chorale
version of the opening
motive, played very
slowly, over the unending
triplets of woodwinds and
strings. At the end of
the movement, the
birds return for a
duo-cadenza, accompanied
by the dying rays of the
sun in muted strings and
the ongoing triplets of
the solo quartet.The
stage is set for the
final movement, Starlight
Night. In
O’Keeffe’s
painting, the stars are
represented by
regularly-spaced
rectangles of bright pale
yellow on a blue-black
sky, with the same shape
to the field of vision
and the horizon that is
found in Light Coming on
the Plains. The stars
become audible: harp,
celesta, glockenspiel,
and string pizzicati all
lend a sparkle while a
solo flute introduces a
slowly unfolding theme.
After this theme has been
heard twice and the sky
has begun to really
brighten, there is a
sudden interruption: a
xylophone and a piano
begin another
“mantra†in
brittle staccato chords.
This is the same
mechanical eternity as
O’Keeffe’s
regularly-spaced square
stars, and it continues
on its own as the night
progresses. The music
builds and grows as the
moon rises and arcs, then
falls as the pre-dawn
light that opened the
work returns to bring it
to a close. Acycle of
light, changing with the
movements of sun, moon,
and stars, appearing
differently from various
points of view

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. Eb
