Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Alto

Par GORDON ANDREW D.. The idea for this book series is to give instrumentalists the opportunity to practice solo improvisational techniques while playing along to rhythm tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums/percussion in various different Latin styles including Calypso, Mambo, Salsa, Songo, Bossa, Guaracha, Samba and Latin-Blues. The 24 grooves totalling over 200 riffs/phrases and play-a-long tracks consists of a variety of tempos and keys. Each groove has a variety of riffs to learn that are generally 4 or 8 measures in length. It would be beneficial if you could memorize these riffs so that you can experiment using different permutations of the riffs as well as being used as a starting off point for one's own improvisations. Each riff has been recorded with a rhythm track with each style having an extended play-a-long track, around 3 minutes in length, recorded without the solo part so you can practice the riffs that you have learned. Also, these musical phrases or riffs may be interchanged from one groove to another and should be learned in as many keys as possible. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Etude / Saxophone Alto

Arrangeur: Claude Georgel. Since the success of the first volume in 2015, OpenSax has spoken for instrumentalists across the world who identify with an unbounded literature for saxophone that' s firmly in touch with today' s musical world. Claude Georgel, who directs the Vent de Sax collection at the Editions Leduc, here presents a sequel to this great adventure that widens its scope: while the 1st volume was aimed essentially at beginner saxophonists, the second targets more confirmed players (5 or 6 years of practice). Nine composers of varying backgrounds (Japan, Spain, Italy, Germany and France), several of whom are from the young generation, allow players to explore the saxophone' s wide palette of instrumental colours without forgetting what' s essential: the pure joy of playing. Tom Georgel, Giulia Lorusso, Alexandros Markeas, Clara Olivares, Sirah Mart?nez Alvarez, Pierre Bertrand-Cagnes, Ryo Noda, Luise Volkmann and Fuminori Tanada sign the pieces in this anthology that will delight anyone who has lost their heart to this instrument of freedom./ Recueil / Saxophone

Par NODA. Maï by Ryo Noda, a Japanese composer, is a unique piece of work for solo Saxophone that is strongly influenced by Japanese music. With some sonority supposed to be quite close to those of a koto and of a shakuhachi, this piece is very technical and complex to play. The story behind this work is about the ghost of a Japanese Samurai. While his wife asks why he let her behind and left to fight in the war, he tries to justify his choices. Most of the work depicts the struggle within the mind of the Samurai, between ending his life and living in the end of his enemies. The screaming altissimo at the end is the climax of his strugglewhich then followed by a 10 second silence that represents his death. The technical abilities required are: large interval leaps, rapid trills, alternate fingerings to achieve pitch bending, multiphonics, altissimo, portamento and cutting tone./ Répertoire / Saxophone en Mib
