Description:
Saxiana Teens, the latest addition to the Saxiana collection, includes seven new and original pieces* for saxophone solo.
True to the general purpose of the collection - extending the saxophone repertoire- these miniatures are specifically intendedfor teen saxophone players, in need of substantial intermediate-level musical material to help them develop their esthetic sense, improve their technique and enhance their creativity.
Seven composers were commissioned to write pieces that would exploit the many possibilities of Adolphe Sax's instrument. Each pie ce reflects ils author s inner poetic world- spectralismfor Thierry Alla (France), virtuosicfolklorefor David Salleras (Catalonia), poetical atonality for Robert Lemay (Canada), quiet contemplation and intimismfor Gualtiero Dazzi ( Italy), neoclassicismfor Alain Crepin ( Belgium), lyrical neotonality for Ryo Nada ( Japan) and post-serialismfor Vincent David ( France).
A truly inventive and deeply expressive repertoire that takes the saxophone one step further while giving students a first opportunity to prepare for professional performance.
