A typical chart for that time, it covers the whole dynamic range with exciting, swinging music.

Commissione d by Music From China ensemble and Prism Saxophone Quartet, with a grant provided by the New York State Council on the Arts in 2008. Premiered in New York City, February 2009.
Commissioned by Music From China ensemble and PRISM Saxophone Quartet, with a commissioning grant provided by the New York State Council on the Arts in 2008.The imagination of this music came from the figures in the murals carved in the Mogao Caves in the ancient city Dunhuang more than a thousand years ago.  The name Dunhuang originally meant “prospering, flourishing.”  Lying at the western end of the Gansu Corridor in China, Dunhuang was very important in the Silk Road that carried new thoughts, ideas, arts and sciences to the East and West in the ancient time.  The Mogao Grottoes were built and developed over 11 dynasties over more than 1,000 years (from the 4th to 14th centuries), with murals, sculptures, wooden cave buildings and books.  It was really the heyday of the art of Dunhuang in the brilliant Tang Dynasty (618-907).  The murals depict rolling dance gestures, the flapping streamer lines, the flying melodies around the clouds, and the fiery rhythms in the sky!  They show the high spirit and the strong power of the people and their society.  All these impressions are translated into the textures of the two Chinese traditional instrumental parts with support from a set of percussion instruments, and the sound of a saxophone quartet.  It’s mysterious, vivid, colorful and energetic, it brings us to dream of the ancient glory and yearn for the future...—Chen Yi.

Grade 2

SKU: CL.032-4657-01

Composed by Jr. Vuono. Jazz Ensemble. Extra full score. Composed 2018. Duration 3 minutes, 51 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4657-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4657-01).

Time to dial back the metronome a bit with this relaxed slow swing with a dreamy disposition. This brilliant chart is the perfect showcase for the entire ensemble, and includes a brief piano introduction, velvety bucket‐muted brass, and a very pretty solo spot for your lead alto saxophone. A gradual crescendo after the alto solo leads to a four bar shout before returning to the volume and tone set at the beginning. Colorful textures and voicings abound, and the optional flute part will add an extra glow of color, but the chart plays just a beautifully without. A superb change of pace for concert or contest!

This delightful ballad, in which the Alto saxophone plays a leading role, will remind many people of a very special moment in their lives.
A lot could be said about it, but perhaps it is better to let the music speak for itself. While listening to this romantic ballad, unforgettable moments are sure to be relived by many people.
Daydreaming is allowed, but don’t forget to pay some attention to the soloist’s performance it will be worth your while.

Deze heerlijke ballad, met een hoofdrol voor de Alt Saxofoon, zal velen terug doen denken aan een bijzonder moment.
We kunnen er veel over zeggen, maar misschien is het beter de muziek te laten spreken. Bij het horen van dezeromantische ballade zal zich in menig hoofd onvergetelijke herinneringen afspelen.
Dromen mag, maar enige aandacht voor de solist is zeker de moeite waard.
