Historical information about Händel's Water Music Suites is limited, but certainly these works were intended for two, possibly three, parties given by King George I on the Thames River, London, between 1715 and 1736. Händel and his orchestra played on a barge. Since then the some twenty-two separate original pieces have been organized into three Suites and nicknamed 'Water Music?, each having a separate key and likely corresponding to these river parties. This transcription of Water Music Suite II for saxophone quartet has two purposes: to make this music available to saxophonists for performance and education, and to provide in one volume the entire Suite II. The exception to the latter, because of the limits of endurance, is the exclusion of the short Adagio, a brief interlude between the fi rst two movements. Included though are the Allegro, Hornpipe, Minuet, Lentement, and Bourree. These works were originally meant for an outdoor performance, and one of the original intentions of the saxophone was to play in French military bands, also an open-air purpose. The original scoring of brass, woodwind, and string instruments (but no continuo) transcribe well for saxophones. Matching the ranges of instruments of the original to the saxophone quartet was a primary objective. In addition, this arrangement strives to disperse melodic material to all four saxophones so as to make the arrangement pleasing to all the members of the quartet while providing variety to an audience. Any dynamic, articulation, and tempo markings are to be taken only as suggestions so as to allow interpretation by the performers. The musical study and performance of all styles while using examples of composition and performance that represent excellence is necessary for saxophonists who wish to be well-rounded musicians. For the above reasons saxophonists are urged to listen to recordings of the original orchestration in order to learn and imitate proper interpretation of Baroque style. There are currently a number of excellent recordings of Handel's Suites on period instruments, such as (but not limited to) those by conductors John Eliot Gardiner, Christopher Hogwood, and the ensemble Tafelmusik. The Lewis-Clark State College Saxophone Quartet has for many years enjoyed performing Suite II for concerts, ceremonies and social settings, and I thank Advance Music for the opportunity to bring these great works to the profession. / 4 Saxophones (SATBar)

Cette composition est structurée selon la forme traditionnelle de l?ouverture (A-B-A). Dynamic Overture ('Ouverture dynamique') débute avec l?exposition d?un thème énergique qui sert de fil conducteur aux trois passages de l?œuvre. Dans le passage central écrit dans un mouvement lent le thème principal apparaît à travers des phrases musicales généreuses et lyriques qui soutenues par des harmonies amples donnent un aperçu original voire inattendu du thème initial. Dynamic Overture se conclut par la reprise du premier passage partiellement modifié qui chemine vers une coda pétillante expressive et pleine de dynamisme.

Radio and Roots Music along the Red River-In Louisiana Hayride - Radio And Roots Music Along The Red River Tracey E.W. Laird documents the history of the popular radio station exploring the role that northwestern Louisiana played in the development of both country music and rock and roll. This interdisciplinary study that combines original ethnomusicology research with social and oral history. On a Saturday night in 1948 Hank Williams stepped onto the stage of the Louisiana Hayride and sang 'Lovesick Blues.' Up to that point Williams's yodeling style had been pigeon-holed as hillbilly music cutting him off from the mainstream of popular music. Taking a chance on this untriedartist the Hayride—a radio 'barn dance' or country music variety show like the Grand Ole Opry—not only launched Williams's career but went on to launch the careers of well-known performers such as Jim Reeves Webb Pierce Kitty Wells Johnny Cash and Slim Whitman. Broadcast from Shreveport Louisiana the local station KWKH's 50 000-watt signal reached listeners in over 28 states and lured them to packed performances of the Hayride's road show. By tracing the dynamic history of the Hayride and its sponsoring station ethnomusicologist Tracey Laird reveals the critical role that this part of northwestern Louisiana played in the development of both country music and rock and roll. Delving into the past of this Red River city she probes the vibrant historical cultural and social backdrop for its dynamic musical scene. Sitting between the Old South and the West this one-time frontier town provided an ideal setting for the cross-fertilization of musical styles. The scene was shaped by the region's easy mobility the presence of a legal 'red-light' district from 1903-17 and musical interchanges between blacks and whites who lived in close proximity and in nearly equal numbers. The region nurtured such varied talents as Huddie Ledbetter the 'king of the twelve-string guitar ' and Jimmie Davis the two term 'singing governor' of
