Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533470). One of the most enigmatic figures in the history of the Saxophone, Ali Ben Sou Alle (Charles-Valentin Soualle) was born in1820 in Arras, France. After receiving his first prize in Clarinet at the Paris Conservatory in 1844. he served as the director ofmusic of The French Marine Band in Senegal, and then was named first clarinet solo at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. However, after the Revolution of 1848, Soualle was forced to flee France to England where he settled in London, playing in the Orchestra of the Queen's Theatre. His songs and piano pieces were published in London.While in London, Soualle met another exiled French musician, Louis Antoine Jullien, who conducted a light music series inLondon. Jullien encouraged Soualle to take up the saxophone, and after modifying the instrument by adding a single octavemechanism (the modern system used today) and keys for the lower register, Soualle became known as a virtuoso and begantouring performing solo recitals (or mono-concerts, as they were called at the time) calling his modified saxophone the«turcophone ». He performed in all the European capitals and then traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Manilla, Java, throughChina and then to India where he finally settled in Mysore, becoming the director of the Royal Music for the Maharadjah. It wasduring this period that he converted to Islam and changed his nmae to Ali ben Sou Alle (or Ali, son of Soualle). Hesubsequently travaled to Ile Maurice, to French Polynesia, the Cap of Natal and the Cap of Good Hope. All of these voyageswere subjects of musical works which Soualle entitled Souvenirs de... and may perhaps have been part of a collection knownas The Royal Album which was presented to the Prince of Wales after a royal concert. Soualle returned to Mysore in 1858 and was almost killed in the Indian Revolution.Around 1860, Soualle returned to France for health reasons and began publishing his own music. On March 27 1865, heperformed a command performance for the Emperor Napoleon III at the Tuileries Palace in the presence of the entire ImperialFamily. After 1865, nothing more is known about him.Alexandra was written on the occasion of the concert that Soualle gave fire Prince of Wales and is dedicated to the Princess of Wales. This piece opens « The Royal Album ». The dynamics, articulations and expressive markings were added by the editor.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.764686 By Gaelic Storm. By Patrick Murphy, Samantha Hunt, Shep Lonsdale, Stephen Twigger, and Stephen Wehmeyer. Arranged by James Pybus. Celtic,Film/TV,Irish,Traditional. 16 pages. James Pybus #4319323. Published by James Pybus (A0.764686). An Irish Party in Third Class is music from the soundtrack of the 1997 Academy Award-winning motion picture Titanic. In the film it is performed by the Celtic band Gaelic Storm, in a lively scene featuring the characters Jack and Rose dancing to the traditional Irish tunes known as Blarney Pilgrim and Jack Ryan’s Polka. Rose has just endured a rather tedious and stuffy formal dinner dance with her fiancée and his aristocratic friends. Jack sees that she is bored and uncomfortable in this very pretentious social circle and decides to try to lighten her mood (and win her heart), taking her aside and asking her, So do want to go to a real party? Rose accepts Jack’s invitation and they are soon whirling about the dance floor with the other passengers in third class aboard the ill-fated ocean liner, carefree and unaware of the tragedy that awaits them. This arrangement is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, and is playable by either SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet, both with optional Bass Saxophone doubling the Baritone. Performance time is 1:55.
