Born in
Tunisia in 1952,
Christian Lauba has been
a prominent contemporary
composer, winning many
prizes since his
graduation from the
Conservatory of Bordeaux
during the mid-1980s.
Lauba is particularly
noted for his
compositions and teaching
guides for the Saxophone,
such as Nine Studies for
Saxophones. Composed
betweem 1992 and 1994,
Nine Studies for
Saxophones won Lauba the
SACEM prize in
composition. The second
volume, for Soprano and
Tenor Saxophones contains
the fifth, sixth and
seventh studies; 1) Tadj,
2) Gyn, and 3) Vir. Nine
Studies for Saxophones is
very modern in style,
exploiting extended
techniques of the
Saxophone to the maximum.
These include
articulation, modes,
complex rhythms,
ornamentation, tonality,
harmonics, vibrato,
resonance and flutter
tonguing, among other
aspects. With modern
classical music becoming
more and more prominent
within the genre, Lauba's
Nine Studies for
Saxophones is essential
to all saxophonists..
