Saxophone Concerto: Reduction for Soprano Saxophone and Piano

En savoir plus sur le livre

Inspired by Scottish traditional music, this work for soprano saxophone and string orchestra unfolds in three movements. The first movement, a lively March, Strathspey, and Reel, features increasing tempos typical of dance medleys. The second movement loosely follows Gaelic psalm singing practices, with the solo saxophone leading a melodic line while the string orchestra creates a heterophonic texture. The final movement is grounded in a simple jig rhythm, marked 'giocoso', adding a playful character to the piece.
