Alto Saxophone Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.837033 Composed by Jay Vosk. Contemporary,Instructional. Individual part. 8 pages. Jay Vosk #5772289. Published by Jay Vosk (A0.837033). Sol-etudes are a set of 4 etudes for Alto Saxophone Solo. These pieces were purposely designed to be intense and challenging for the soloist. It was my intention to write something that would hone the players skills as well as be a meaningful piece of music. These are times of isolation, and public performance is practically nonexistent. This is also a time when a lot of practicing can get done! That said, the saxophonist should seek solace in the fact that, with a solo piece such as this, and a little imagination, they can be both the soloist and ,in a way, the audience. Hopefully, come the time public performance is again normalized, one may consider sol-etudes for public recitals and for studio study.

Alto Saxophone Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1049003 Composed by An-lun Huang. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Individual part. 16 pages. DoReMi Edition #653396. Published by DoReMi Edition (A0.1049003). Chinese Rhapsody No.3 was composed e in Toronto, Canada , 1988. Huang dedicated the piece to the Canadian Saxophonist Paul Brodie who premiered it in Parry sound of Ontario in the same year. Written in Saibei Folk Style, the music is divided into 5 movements without stop. As usual, Huang didn‘t use any folk song . But the typical taste of Huang’s “Zhang Jia Kou[張家å£] accent†is pretty easy to be identified. With the concert virtuosity, the 1st movement is composed as an emotional Cadenza which expresses the profound affections to the land of Saibei. Using the same Alto Sax., the lyric 2nd movement is followed by a folk dance, the 3rd movement. Chang to a Soprano Saxophone, the 4th movement is sound like a dreamy nocturne which is interrupted by the percussions of the fiery 5th movement. The whole Rhapsody ends on a climax of the Chinese Northern west “wind and percussion “styleâ€. Brodie found more than 300 trills in this piece. Perhaps this is the key to perform the music in real Chinese style. Huang has composed 5 versions of these pieces for different ensembles: saxophone solo with piano, or strings, or winds/brasses, or Chinese traditional orchestra, or symphony orchestra. The attached mp3 was performed by the German saxophonist Jurgen Demmler with pianist Peter Grabinger in 1996. Duration: 20’.

Alto Saxophone Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.755140 Composed by Sy Brandon. 20th Century,Contemporary,Multicultural,World. Individual part. 20 pages. Sy Brandon #3406013. Published by Sy Brandon (A0.755140). A free mp3 file of the pre-recorded sounds for this composition is available at https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkqxbtnymb6iknu/lan_na_thai_prs.mp3?dl=0 Lan Na Thai was composed during 2008 at the request of Dr. Andy Wen for a performance at the 2009 World Saxophone Congress in Bangkok, Thailand. The composition is in three movements with each titled after a different period in Thailand history. The piece is loosely programmatic as it tries to capture the general mood of each era, rather than specific events. I. Sukhothai (The Dawn of Happiness) This movement reflects the ideal state, a land of plenty, and is peaceful. II. Ayutthaya This movement reflects a period of wealth that is characterized by wars with Burma. III. The Chakri Dynasty This movement reflects the more hectic pace of modern society where Thailand moves from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. Folk music of Thailand is built on a seven-note scale of equal intervals. The fourth and seventh notes of this scale are often used only for ornamental purposes. In order to approximate this scale, a pentatonic scale is used as it is like a major scale with the fourth and seventh tones removed. The pre-recorded sounds approximate some of the instruments traditionally used in Thai folk music.
