Description:
Literature for alto saxophone and organ is rare. In his piece, the composer Enjott Schneider from Munich examines a theme from the 16th century: The Catalan composer and vihuela player Luis de Milán (1500-1561) is one of the most important composers of the Spanisch Renaissance. His collection 'El Maestro' from 1536 was the first publication of vihuela music in music history, the vihuela being an archetype of the guitar. The six pavans contained therein embody the ceremonial processional dance. According to the etymological derivation of 'pavo' (Spanish/Latin: 'peacock'), one can sometimes even hear in this peacock's dance the typical cry of this bird which may be performed very freely and naturalistically by the saxophone player.
