Writing for Saxophones
WRITING MUSIC FOR SAXOPHONES This is a short information sheet for musicians who wish to create clear, easy to read music for the saxophone. It is based upon my experiences as a jazz saxophone player and the common mistakes that people make when setting out their parts. It covers the basics such as range, transposition, blending, use of altissimo etc. TRANSPOSITION This section is a brief introduction to the concept of transposition. If you already understand how transposing instruments work in principal then please skip to the section entitled 'range' where you can see how to put this information in to practice for particular saxophones. Most saxophones are transposing instruments. This means that the note 'C' on the saxophone does not sound at the same pitch as 'C' on the piano. The common keys which saxophones are made in are B flat (which includes tenor and soprano as well as less common bass and soprillo saxophones) and E flat (alto and baritone, as well as contra bass and sopranino). There are also 'C melody' saxophones, which are made at concert pitch and do not require transposition, however these are less common. When a saxophonist plays a C on a B flat saxophone such as the tenor, the note that comes out sounds at the same pitch as concert B flat (B flat on the piano). Similarly, on an E flat saxophone such as the alto, a C comes out at the same pitch as concert E flat. On a B flat saxophone all the note letter names are one tone higher than they would be on the piano (i.e.

Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.

Establishment of the Classical Saxophone: The Evolution of Instrumental Design and Performance into the 20th Century Abstract The instrumental design of the saxophone has evolved dramatically from its original patent in 1846. Referencing instruments from the St. Cecilia’s Hall Music Museum at the University of Edinburgh, this article explores the historical origins of the saxophone and traces the evolution of its design into the 20th century. Original research was completed through analysis of unique antique saxophones at St. Cecilia’s Hall and historical source materials in order to determine how, despite its intention to be used as a classical instrument, many factors such as politics, instrument structure, finances, and musician attitude at the time of the saxophone’s invention resulted in limited classical saxophone performance in the modern day.

John Mackey's Concerto for Soprano Sax and Wind Ensemble
JOHN MACKEY’S CONCERTO FOR SOPRANO SAX AND WIND ENSEMBLE (2007): AN ANALYSIS AND CONDUCTOR’S GUIDE TO PERFORMANCE by JACOB EDWARD WALLACE (Under the Direction of John P. Lynch) ABSTRACT John Mackey is an important young American composer. A student of Pulitzer Prize– winning American composer John Corigliano, Mackey has written works for groups ranging from small chamber ensembles to symphony orchestra. He has become, recently, an important figure in composing new works for wind band. Of these, one of his most significant works is his 2007 composition Concerto for Soprano Sax and Wind Ensemble. This document serves as a comprehensive guide to the conductor for this work. It contains a historical background about John Mackey and the piece itself, an original and comprehensive musical analysis, and pedagogical advice for performing the work from the perspective of a conductor. Its intent is to provide conductors with the necessary tools to perform the work. These include an understanding of its genesis and commissioning and perception of difficulties presented to the ensemble in performance of the work. A comprehensive analysis of the work allows the reader to see the importance of shared motives and quotations from Corigliano’s Clarinet Concerto as well as understand the modern tonal language used regularly by Mackey. Appendices detail conversations between the author of the document and Mackey, extended techniques for the soloist, the composer’s notes on the piece, and a catalogue of the composer’s works for wind band.

The band is based in Berne, the capitol of Switzerland. Some of the musicians are rooted in Jazz while others are based in classical music. In this special formation they overcome common patterns and create their own identity. From the soprano saxophone to the tubax nearly all saxophone related instruments are included. Together they add up to a pipe length of approximately 10m. Let alone the tubax - a newly constructed contrabass saxophone - measures more than 4m. The Saxophonists Daniel Zumofen, Matthias Wenger, Ivo Prato, Erwin Brünisholz and Michel Duc met each other for a first rehearsal in June 2011. Immediately, a constructive, creative cooperation was called into life. Soon after drummer Philippe Ducommun joined the band. For nine years the band was playing in this setup. In nearly ten years the band can present 100 concerts, CDs, Videos, press releases and radio shows. Schedule Soon, the band Klapparat celebrates its tenth anniversary. In 2020 the band plans its third CD production, a movie and tours in Switzerland and Russia.

The Saga of the F Alto Saxophone by Paul Cohen Available from Classic Saxophone On-Line! (1980) At
The Saga of the F Alto Saxophone by Paul Cohen Available from Classic Saxophone On-Line! (1980) at http://www.classicsax.com The recent fascination and experimentation with the F and C saxophones has sparked a renewed interest in these closely-related yet distant instrumental kin. Many questions as to the origin and history of this distinctive class of saxophones have been raised, but unfortunately little historical documentation exists. Of what is known, none have had a more colorful (and brief) history than the American F alto, produced some 50 years ago. The development of this instrument capped a decade of extraordinary activity and popularity for the saxophone. Never before had the saxophone enjoyed such acceptance, nor had the conditions been so conducive to the constant diversified research and experimentation undertaken by the major instrument companies. A Brief History Originally, the saxophone was conceived in two families - orchestral (F& C) and band (E-flat and B- flat). The very first saxophone - the bass - was in C, and was the instrument used by Berlioz in his Hymne Chant Sacre of 1843 (transcribed for instruments of Adolphe Sax). The first orchestral use of the saxophone by Kastner in 1844 ( le Dernier Roi de Jude) also used the C bass. Throughout the early history of the saxophone, the F alto was consistently mentioned in textbook descriptions of the saxophone family. As early as 1844, Kastner lists and F alto (alongside the E-flat) in the supplement to his Cours d’instrumentation and Traite General d’ instrumentation both of 1837. He also includes the F alto in his Complete and Systematic Method for the Saxophone of 1845.

A special thank you is for Dr. Paul Cohen, who was so kind to have a critical look at my use of the English language. INTRODUCTION We saxophonists all know that Adolph Sax developed two saxophone families. One that is in use today and best known is the E flat, B flat group, the other is the F, C-family. From this last family, consisting of different types including soprano in C, alto in F, tenor in C, baritone in F and bass saxophone in C, the C tenor saxophone is the only family member that has had some serious role in saxophone history. It is an instrument, that forms a link between the alto in E flat and the tenor in B flat.

Lux Perpetua For Solo Soprano Saxophone and Orchestra (2011(2011)))) Kathryn Salfelder Kon Brio Music (ASCAP) www.kathrynsalfelder.com Program Listing: Lux Perpetua Kathryn Salfelder (1987- ) I. Introit II. Refractions III. Reflections IV. Shadows V. Glimmers VI. Elegy Program Note: "There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach." - J.R.R. Tolkien Lux Perpetua explores light’s many facets in six continuous movements, performed without pause. The first and final movements offer emotional reflections on hope in a time of sorrow. The inner four movements focus on light's physical properties and how they are perceived by the human eye. The first movement, Introit , (from the Latin introitus, or "entrance") references the opening movement of a Requiem Mass. The title of this work, Lux Perpetua, is derived from the standard requiem text "...et lux perpetua luceat eis" (...and may perpetual light shine upon them). The subsequent two movements are a musical journey into optics. In Refractions , a change in speed constitutes a change in direction, resulting in ascending/descending patterns and abrupt shifts in motivic ideas. In Reflections, the ‘mirror image’ is exemplified through melodic techniques of retrograde and inversion.
