Saxophone study material that is aimed at musical expression and sound, instead of virtuosity is always in short supply. Most existing study books offer too little opportunity to apply the learned technique for its actual purpose - making music. These New Concert Studies meet the demand for teaching the art of making music. The book contains fifteen studies that put emphasis on interpretation and performance. The pieces have been written by a number of leading composers and their various approaches make practising these studies a good way to widen your musical horizons. The books comes with a demo CD featuring Nobuya Sugawa showing exactly how it should be done. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Etudes et exercices / Répertoire / Saxophone Alto

Piano Reduction including solo part. Par DENISOV EDISON. The catalogue of Edison Denisov's works includes 16 concertos. It was a genre to which he returned time and again throughout his life, from the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra of 1972 to the Double Concerto for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra of 1996. In Denisov's music the role of the soloist, or rather the protagonist, is extraordinarily important, not so much for its virtuosity as for its confessional character. The solo part is a monologue distinguished by poetic diction and a very personal message from the composer. The dramaturgical conception of the Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra, a reworking of the Viola Concerto of 1986, draws on traditional sonata form, thereby reaffirming the ubiquitous classicism in Denisov's thought. In this late work, we find all the typical features of his style: sinuous melodic lines layered into dense contrapuntal textures, and an interplay of orchestral colours, with pure sonorities contrasting with complex mixtures of sounds. It is a perfect dramaturgy that governs the evolution of the music to the very end. The first movement assumes the role of a sonata-allegro, with the standard formal sections of exposition, development, recapitulation and coda. The second movement is an Adagio for strings. The third takes the form of a little contrasting intermezzo that introduces both new thematic material and a new range of colours. Here tunefulness gives way to pointillism enriched with sonic effects. The only movement with a virtuosic solo part, its nervousness and inner tension set it worlds apart from the second and fourth movements that surround it. The fourth movement assumes the traditional form of a final set of variations. It is the dramaturgical and semantic heart of the concerto. The theme of the variations is Franz Schubert's Impromptu in B-flat major, op. 142, which in this case is 'born' from the celesta as the product of a dodecaphonic string cluster. This finale represents Denisov's homage to his great mentor, Schubert's music being for him a symbol of eternal and universal beauty. 'The attentive listener', Denisov stressed, 'will recognise that the Impromptu theme is already suggested very slowly in the course of the three preceding movements, not only thematically, but also psychologically. That's what makes the appearance of the Schubert theme sound so natural.' The variations relate to the variation genre less in their form than in their spiritual and conceptual metamorphoses. It is, one might say, 'music round about Schubert'. (Ekaterina Kouprovskaia-Denisova)/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Par PELLEGRINO MICHEL. Dans un précédent ouvrage*, nous avions exposé la présence du saxophone à la source du jazz, et détaillé son utilisation depuis le style 'New Orleans' jusqu'à la naissance et la maturité du style 'Swing', de Chicago à New York... Dans les décennies qui vont suivre, le saxophone va devenir prépondérant dans la musique de jazz, et détrôner progressivement la clarinette. Il sera tout d'abord la vedette des grands orchestres swing dédiés à la danse (Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman...) et par la suite, grâce au talent des saxophonistes emblématiques de cette période (Don Byas, Art Pepper, Zoot Sims, et tant d'autres...), il prendra la place déterminante que l'on connaît, au sein de formations plus petites (quartets, quintets, sextets...), et forgera progressivement le style 'Bebop'. Les grands 'boppers', tels Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, ou Cannonball Adderley, installeront définitivement le saxophone comme un symbole du jazz. Parallèlement à ce style virtuose et fougueux qu'est le 'bop', se développe également un style plus mélodique et plus suave, le 'West Coast' qui, comme son nom l'indique, naît sur la côte Ouest des Etats-Unis, et se fait représenter plus principalement par des musiciens blancs : Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond... Nous avons essayé de présenter ces courants musicaux si différents dans cet ouvrage, en illustrant des 'standards' très connus de l'histoire du jazz avec des exemples d'improvisations dans les styles respectifs de ces grands saxophonistes. Sur le CD accompagnant le livre, vous trouverez donc en première partie les morceaux enregistrés à titre d'exemple, avec le modèle de saxophone utilisé par le musicien de référence (alto, ténor ou baryton...). Mais la méthode présente les partitions en Sib et Mib, ce qui permet de les travailler quel que soit le saxophone que vous jouez. En deuxième partie du CD figure l'accompagnement seul, par la 'rythmique' (piano, contrebasse, batterie), sur lequel vous pourrez tester le morceau que vous aurez préalablement travaillé avec l'exemple de la première partie. Un 'La' (440 Hz) est donné au début du CD, pour vous permettre de vous accorder. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, nous avons réuni quelques éléments qui nous paraissaient importants pour l'apprentissage des 'codes' du jazz : biographies des musiciens, principaux effets du jazz au saxophone, les accords utilisés dans la méthode, les gammes pentatoniques et blues, ainsi que les grilles de blues et 'd'anatoles' déclinés dans toutes les tonalités. Un petit lexique expose aussi quelques mots-clés, pour une meilleure compréhension (les mots figurant dans le lexique sont écrits en gras). Continuons donc le voyage au pays du jazz... Bon travail, et bonne musique ! / variété - jazz / Méthode / Saxophone

Par HUMMEL BERTOLD. The overall form of this work in one movement is in seven sections. A slow introduction begins with multiphonics of the saxophone and sounds of cymbals played with a double-bass bow. Vibraphone and marimbaphone provide the chordal foundation for a fanfare-like invocation by the saxophone. The atmosphere of the following Allegro is dominated by an ostinato series of notes taken from the chords of the introduction and played by the marimbaphone - over this, starting from a four-note series, the saxophone develops jazz-influenced figures. The constructional elements are worked into a cadenza-like section, followed by an arioso passage, leading over lightly-pulsating sounds to a final climax with a B-A-C-H (B flat - A - C - B) quotation in the saxophone. Once again, it continues with a cadenza-like section. Slap in the saxophone and stopped notes in the vibraphone and marimbaphone introduce new ideas and sonorities for discussion, the constructional elements are played off against each other in a loose sequence. At the end of this second cadenza, the B-A-C-H (B flat - A - C - B) quotation re-appears in the saxophone. A varied reprise of the first Allegro section leads to a concluding passage, taking up the atmosphere of the introduction, combined however with clear references to the four-note series of the Allegro. The interval of a third is heard and remains hovering in the air to the very end, closing the work in pianissimo./ Répertoire / Saxophone Soprano et Percussions
