Par PROST NICOLAS. Sept nouvelles pièces* pour saxophone solo composent ce nouvel opus de la série Saxiana. Toujours avec l’objectif d’élargir la littérature pour le saxophone, ces miniatures commandées à sept créateurs, sont parfaitement ciblées pour des adolescents « Teen », en quête de matière musicale substantielle et de niveau intermédiaire, afin de développer leur sens esthétique, leur technique et créativité. Fidèles à l’instrument d’Adolphe Sax, les sept artistes ont composé avec leur poésie intrinsèque : spectralisme avec le français Thierry Alla, folklore virtuose avec le catalan David Salleras, atonalité poétique avec le canadien Robert Lemay, intimisme contemplatif avec l’italien Gualtiero Dazzi, néoclassicisme avec le belge Alain Crepin, lyrisme néotonal du japonais Ryo Noda et post-dodécaphonisme avec le français Vincent David. Un regard sur le saxophone de demain émane de ce recueil de miniatures, où la profondeur expressive, au cœur du processus compositionnel, permet déjà à l’élève de se projeter sur la scène professionnelle. Nicolas PROST * Toutes ces compositions ont été dédiées aux lauréats de Junior Online International Competition for saxophone de 2021 et à Jean-Marie Londeix, pour célébrer son 90e anniversaire en 2022. / Niveau : Moyennement difficile (cycle 2) / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Recueil / Saxophone

Par O'NEILL JOHN. These methods provide complete courses for players off all ages, guiding students from their first note to 'classics', together with compositions by contemporary writers. Each book is accompanied by high quality rhythm section tracks recorded on compact disc. Right from the start, students can enjoy authentic jazz sounds, playing in the company of professionals. With step-by-step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good technique are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz. Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage and is given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, and an Appendix containing all the chord progressions for 'live' accompaniment of the tunes, 'The Jazz Methods' are ideally suited to both students working alone and those learning with a teacher. 'John O'Neill has a solid understanding of jazz and how it can be taught. I highly recommend his educational jazz materials.' (Jamey Aebersold) '...a rare opportunity for a new player (or a more experienced one) to develop a really musical facility. A rare addition to the jazz improvising library.' (Lee Konitz, international jazz saxophone soloist) The Saxophone is, for many, the instrument of jazz and there is an enormous and exciting repertoire waiting to be explored by newcomers to the instrument. 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' will guide beginners of all ages from producing their first note on the saxophone to the performance of full-blown jazz pieces, including 'classics' by Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins and Horace Silver, as well as contributions from leading contemporary jazz players and composers. Backing for all the music-specially recorded for this method is provided on the accompanying CD so that, right from the start, student saxophonists can enjoy an authentic jazz sound, playing in the company of a top-class rhythm section (bass, guitar, drums) used later to support first attempts at improvisation. With step by step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good saxophone technique-breath control, tone-production, embouchure, tonguing and fingerings-are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz (for example, 'swung' and syncopated rhythms). Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage, given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With additional information on practical matters such as choosing reeds and earing for the instrument, as well as supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' is ideally suited both to students working alone and those learning with a teacher. / Méthode / Recueil / Saxophone

Artiste: Rami El-Farrah. 64 Musical Studies for Saxophone is a compendium of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic-era masterpieces arranged for saxophone. The works are written to serve used as a student primer to the Ferling Studies or other similar studies. Each lyrical study has been crafted to create a balance of musicality and pedagogy that allows students to improve on all aspects of performance. Players are encouraged to choose works that align with their musical goals, not necessarily in the listed order. Each piece is carefully formatted with style-appropriate dynamics, articulations, and tempos, all of which are carefully tailored to the saxophone. These musical studies give saxophonists the opportunity to experience compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Ernesto Köhler, Carl Maria von Weber, and many more. / Niveau : 4 / Etudes et exercices / Etude / Saxophone

Par RAE JAMES. 'This book was written in the same format as 20 Modern Studies. Again, the pieces are of moderate length and cover a wide variety of styles. As the studies are technically demanding, they are all written in comfortable saxophone-orientated keys to allow the student to focus on interpretation. Each study is designed to improve the student's musical as well as technical abilities.' James Rae • More modern studies for soprano, alto, tenor or baritone saxophone complementing the established favourite: 20 Modern Studies • Musical styles vary from modern Classical through to Jazz and Rock • For elementary to more advanced levels (1 - 8*) • Ideal for developing musicianship and technique by way of accessible but challenging material • These studies make attractive performance pieces and are suitable for examination purposes / Date parution : 2020-08-21/ Etude / Saxophone

Par RAE JAMES. A terrific book of 20 modern studies for either Alto or Tenor saxophone. Each study deals with a particular aspect of rhythmic playing ranging from jazz, rock and funk to contemporary classical. They are moderate length in order to maximise concentration on style and interpretation and have also been compiled in order of difficulty to enable the player to better gauge their progress. Selected as part of the ABRSM Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophone examinations grades 4-6./ Etude / Saxophone

Par SCOTT ANDY. Saxon Place is an opportunity to explore and improvise with colour and inflection, within a fully notated work. When I was writing Saxon Place I was hearing some of the saxophonists that I admire from the contemporary classical, jazz and funk worlds. Divided into three main sections that run continuously, part one is dynamic and articulate, part two has a free time introduction before settling into a slower groove, whilst part three is about energy and drive and musical conversation. The alternative fingerings that feature in part three do not need to have exact intonation, in fact the effect is better if they aren’t exactly in tune with the notated pitch! You may need to experiment with which palm keys that you use depending on saxophone of choice. Andy Scott / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Saxophone
