Im Gegensatz zu seinem Zeitgenossen Joh. Seb. Bach hinterliess Georg Friedrich Handel kaum Werke fur die Orgel. Ausser den bekannten Konzerten fur Orgel und Orchester schrieb er 6 Fugen, die diese Ausgabe der Praxis erschliessen mochte. Der Grund, dass Handel sich in seinem kompositorischen Schaffen in so geringem Masse der Orgel zuwandte, ist nicht in erster Linie in seinem kunstlerischen Aufgabenkreis zu suchen, sondern liegt wohl hauptsachlich an der primitiven Beschaffenheit der englischen Orgeln seiner Zeit. Weithin fand man das Pedal entbehrlich und liess es weg. Fr. Chrysander berichtet: (,,G. Fr. Handel III, S. 218) ,,Handel, dessen Ohr an die deutschen Orgelbasse gewohnt war, nahm zu einem Stuck Blei Zuflucht, um einen tiefen Ton fortklingen zu lassen und beide Hande frei zu haben..

Toccata and Lamentwas composed on commission in 2008 to inaugurate the large new organ in the Christ Church Cathedral, Rochester, NY, USA. This instrument is a detailed reconstruction of a late Baroque organ of 1776 from Vilnius in Lithuania. The point of departure - a clash of contrasting eras and musical cultures on two continents - already bodes excitement. Martin Herchenroder, a composer and professor of music theory, has incorporated these contrasts in his roughly eight-minute composition. The result is a musical idiom of rare distinction, universal in its musical resources and alternating between tonal triads and extremely dissonant clusters. The heart of the piece is a dirge which, using the Baroque doctrine of the affections, relates to Eastern European cultural history in and around Vilnius, a history marked by the predations of 20th-Century war.

Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.Eb Saxophone:Mainly Transcriptions:Sonata, op. 2, no. 6 (La bouget) - Michel Blavet- [Complete]Minuet and Dance of the Blessed Spirits (from Orphee et Euridice) - Christoph Willibald Gluck, arr.
