Quartet for Saxophones is a piece for four saxophones composed by Alfred Desenclos in 1964, which lasts around 15 minutes and 30 seconds. Initially written for the Marcel Mule Quartet, Quartet for Saxophones is a typical French quartet, quite smooth and suave. The beginning of the piece that sets up the Soprano Saxophone against the others is quite jazzy but then it continues on to a more lyrical part, quite slow, with a simple melody. The tension is gradually built up and the finale unison is introduced quite dramatically, with some bursts of energy. This Quartet for Saxophones would fit a Quartet of advanced to professional players. Alfred Desenclos (1912-1961) is a French Composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1942. He also composed masses such as 'Messe de Requiem' and other pieces for Double Bass, Harp, Flute, Trumpet or French Horn.

Commissione d by Network for New Music, who premiered the work in April 2008, with support from Philadelphia Music Project, an Artistic Initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts, administered by the University of the Arts.“Song and Dance†began its life as a nascent melody in the late eighties, employing a similar motivic cell as did three of my works written over a period of several years — East Wind, String Quartet No. 2 (Vistas), and Mirage. At the ore of these three works is the simplest of melodic kernels — a note encircled by its two neighboring tones (and more specifically, a half step above and whole step below). At the time, I envisioned writing a work for voice, oboe, and marimba, and had just begun it, only to drop it in favor of more pressing compositional assignments. Almost twenty years later, the vocal fragment finally evolved into the “song†of this work, played here by the soprano saxophone. But it seems that the song, all these years, had been waiting for its counterpart, a dance. Singing and dancing are two of humankind’s most basic and essential impulses, transcending time and place, reaching back to the earliest civilizations. The resulting composition, “Song and Danceâ€, moves back and forth between the two, delineating its various parts further with the use of both soprano and alto saxophones, partnered by mallet percussion instruments — mostly vibraphone and marimba, with bells added at the very end of the work. The song portions return to the same melody, varied and evolved over time, as new materials are introduced in the dance sections, affecting the presentation of the recurring song music. My thanks to the Network for New Music for commissioning this work and allowing me the freedom to choose its format and instrumentation.—S hulamit Ran.
