A mystifying question of versions surrounds the Italian: right after the world premiere in London, Mendelssohn is unsatisfied with his symphony. Since he no longer has the score with him, he writes it down afresh (except for the opening movement), but stops at three quarters of the way. In the meantime, trusted experts weigh in with their views. Fanny Hensel writes to her brother: I dont like the change in the first melody at all; why did you make it? Nevertheless, Felix continues to busy himself with the first movement, but ultimately finds no more time for it and leaves it primarily in the form of the complete early version of 1833, which is published posthumously and remains, to this day, a standard repertoire piece in all concert halls. The revised torso, in turn, was long ignored. It was published in this volume, yet it is clear that the three movements of the incomplete final version of 1834 were from the composers viewpoint not at all ready for publication, seeing that Mendelssohn had never critically reviewed them after having penned them.

Though Mendelssohn planned to revise his Italian Symphony, he came to a halt after three quarters of the piece following the successful London world premiere in 1833. The following year, he newly composed only movements 2 to 4, but there was no further performance of the work, let alone a publication. The London version was thus printed posthumously in 1851 and paved the way for the works international breakthrough. It is thus perfectly plausible to continue to consider this early version of 1833 as the valid form of the work, since it alone can claim to have been entirely conceived, conducted and thus introduced to the public by the composer.

PROGRAM NOTES Santa's Majesty is inspired by the promise and grandeur presented by Santa Claus. Many of us place our faith in legendary figures hoping for good to be shared with those around us in our lives. The intention of this work is to capture the majesty surrounding our beloved Saint Nicholas. NOTES TO CONDUCTOR The duration of the composition is two minutes at the marked tempo. Careful attention should be given to articulations, dynamic changes and phrasing throughout the work. The entire work should be felt in two even though it is marked in common time. Be sure not to breathe after any crescendo throughout the work. Measure 73 through measure 75 should give focus to the tenor voices. The last three quarter notes of the piece should be emphasized a little heavier with some space.PROGRAM NOTESSanta’s Majesty is inspired by the promise and grandeur presented by Santa Claus.

This incredible arrangement for beginning band that features the magnificent overture from the operetta Die schöne Galathee by Franz von Suppé is freshly scored with the original waltz melody using only quarter notes as the most complex rhythmic component, a very light bass, and complemented by ornamental percussion parts. A tremendous introduction to three-quarter time! (1:45).

“Russian composer, Edison Denisov (1929-1996) was a controversial composer of the nonconformist division of Soviet music. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory and his compositions remain popular to this day, Two Pieces for Alto Saxophone and Piano being no exception. Published in 1978, a typical performance of Denisov's Two Pieces lasts about 5 minutes. The work makes use of extended techniques, including quarter and three-quarter tones, variations in ornamentation, complex rhythms, large intervals, differing articulation and exploitation of the ensemble, amongst other aspects. For all advanced saxophonists seeking modern, alternative and exciting repertoire, Denisov's Two Pieces is essential.&rdquo.
