Leduc, , SS, 7 pages 2 copies in score format. Jean-Marie Leclair was a Baroque violinist and composer. Range to altissimo F-sharp. These pieces will work well for soprano saxophones and probably clarinets or flutes, too. Early college level. Resolute Music Publications, , SS, 14 pages, one copy in score format. Here Canadian composer Robert Lemay is interested in the equality of the two performers - Deuce is a term that refers to tennis also. It is therefore a fluid and ambiguous relationship where each line is built by the other, almost the opposite of the independence of counterpoint, where the resulting texture is a hybrid. However, the mirror is kept in the composer's compositional practices; the statement and the reversal of tone rows where you can decipher the names of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and imitation; perfect example of the playing of two. Deuce is consistent with Lemay's compositional approaches for saxophone, using advanced techniques such as slap-tonguing, multiphonics, rhythmic bisbigliandi, and altissimo to A. This is an incredible new duet which is fun for both players. It fits together very well, and the audience can enjoy the interplay between parts. Highly recommended!

  • The Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano (1988) by David Maslanka
    THE SONATA FOR ALTO SAXOPHONE AND PIANO (1988) BY DAVID MASLANKA: AN ANALYTIC AND PERFORMANCE GUIDE. by CAMILLE LOUISE OLIN (Under the Direction of Kenneth Fischer) ABSTRACT In recent years, the Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano by David Maslanka has come to the forefront of saxophone literature, with many university professors and graduate students aspiring to perform this extremely demanding work. His writing encompasses a range of traditional and modern elements. The traditional elements involved include the use of “classical” forms, a simple harmonic language, and the lyrical, vocal qualities of the saxophone. The contemporary elements include the use of extended techniques such as multiphonics, slap tongue, manipulation of pitch, extreme dynamic ranges, and the multitude of notes in the altissimo range. Therefore, a theoretical understanding of the musical roots of this composition, as well as a practical guide to approaching the performance techniques utilized, will be a valuable aid and resource for saxophonists wishing to approach this composition.

  • Slap Tongue (Saxophone Pizzicato)
    Excerpt from “Part IV: Extended Techniques for Saxophone” Writing for Saxophones: A Guide to the Tonal Palette of the Saxophone Family for Composers, Arrangers and Performers by Jay C. Easton, D.M.A. (for further excerpts and ordering information, please visit http://baxtermusicpublishing.com) • Slap Tongue (saxophone pizzicato) Slap tongue is a versatile and interesting effect that is available in four varieties: 1. “melodic” slap or pizzicato (clearly pitched): melodic “plucking” sound entire keyed range of horn (but not altissimo) Maximum tempo: 240 beats per minute Possible from p to f dynamics 2. “slap tone” (clearly pitched): melodic slap attack followed by normal tone Maximum tempo: 200 beats per minute Possible from p to f dynamics 3. “woodblock” slap (unpitched): soft, dry percussive sound Maximum tempo: 200 beats per minute Possible from p to mf dynamics 4. “explosive” slap or “open” slap (unpitched): loud percussive sound Maximum tempo: 70 beats per minute Possible from mf to ff dynamics Not all saxophonists know how to slap tongue but an increasing number are learning the technique. The “melodic” slap and “slap tone” are produced by holding the tongue against about 1/3 to 1/2 of the tip end of the reed surface – a centimeter or so – and creating a suction-cup effect between tongue and reed. This is accomplished by pulling the middle of the tongue slightly away from the reed while keeping the edges and tip of the tongue sealed tight against it. The tongue is then quickly released by pushing it forward and downward away from the reed, creating suction between the tongue and the reed; this tongue motion is accompanied by sudden slight impulse of air.

  • 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.

  • Analysis of Reed Vibrations and Mouthpiece Pressure In
    ISMA 2019 Analysis of reed vibration and mouthpiece pressure in contemporary bass clarinet playing techniques Peter Mallinger(1)∗, Montserrat Pàmies-Vilà(1), Vasileios Chatziioannou(1), Alex Hofmann(1)y (1)Dept. of Music Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Austria Abstract While articulation on the B[-clarinet has already been a subject in various studies, articulation on the bass clarinet has gotten less attention. Because of the increasing interest for using the bass clarinet, especially in contemporary music, this instrument is emerging from the shadow of the B[-clarinet. In order to investigate articulation on the bass clarinet an experiment was carried out in an anechoic chamber at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. A professional clarinetist was recorded performing different articulation techniques on a German bass clarinet under controlled performance conditions. Results show that the attack transients on the bass clarinet were about 0.085 s long in staccato articulation. In comparison, attack transients on the B[-clarinet are 2 to 3 times shorter. This study especially focuses on the slap tonguing technique. Of particular interest is the reed bending signal, which shows the movement of the reed. It has been observed that tones articulated with slap tonguing have a significantly shorter attack transient and are immediately entering the decay phase. Such measurements allow an in-depth analysis of player-instrument interactions with contem- porary playing techniques and may support the refinement of physical model parameters but may also support music education. Keywords : Bass clarinet, articulation, woodwinds, contemporary music, player-instrument interaction 1 INTRODUCTION Articulation techniques on the bass clarinet require precise control over the blowing pressure, the tongue and the embouchure as well as simultaneous fingering actions.

  • The Sound of Saxophone from South Korea: a Performer's Guide To
    The Sound of Saxophone from South Korea: A Performer’s Guide to Young Jo Lee’s Sori No.10 for alto saxophone A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music Oct 12, 2014 by Yeomin Yun B.M., Korean National University of Arts, 2002 M.M., Korean National University of Arts, 2005 G.C.P, University of Southern California. 2007 Committee Chair: James Bunte, DMA Readers: Rick VanMatre, MM Won-Bin Yim, DMA i ABSTRACT The purpose of this document is to examine Young Jo Lee’s saxophone work, Sori No.10 for alto saxophone, and to create a performer’s guide. This meticulous analysis of Lee’s Sori No.10 will help performers fully understand his work, which combines various musical elements from Korea and the West. I will focus on how Lee uses the musical techniques and elements of the traditional Korean piri oboe in his saxophone work, and how to adapt these piri techniques for the saxophone. I will also examine the various modes and scales in the work which explicitly demonstrate that Lee intentionally combined musical sources from the East, particularly Korea, and the West. The performer’s guide will also explain how to perform the extended techniques on the saxophone, including multiphonics, circular breathing, and slap tonguing. This proposed study is significant in that it is the first analysis of Lee’s Sori No.10. Through close analysis and comparison to piri techniques as well as traditional Korean modes, scales, vibrato and portamento, this study will provide a basis for a culturally informed interpretation of Lee’s music.

  • Extended Techniques for Saxophone an Approach Through Musical
    Extended Techniques for Saxophone An Approach Through Musical Examples by Patrick Murphy A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved March 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Gary Hill, Chair Robert Spring Timothy McAllister Albie Micklich James DeMars ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2013 ABSTRACT The repertoire of the saxophone has advanced significantly since its invention circa 1840. Performers are required to adapt to the demands of composers - many of whom are exploring new and unconventional sounds and techniques. Numerous texts exist to identify and explain these so-called "extended" techniques, but there are very few resources for the initial stages of performance. In order to offer performers a resource, the author of this text composed forty original etudes (or studies) that incorporate extended techniques in a variety of ways. After identifying common extended techniques that a performer might face, the author focused on four different ways each individual technique might appear in actual repertoire. The resulting work is entitled Pushing Boundaries: Forty Etudes on Extended Techniques. Each etude offers a practical approach to what is generally a single extended technique. Although this text is not pedagogical in the sense of identifying the mechanics and anatomical requirements of each technique, it does contain a performance analysis of each etude. This analysis identifies areas where performers might struggle and offers helpful suggestions. To this end, the etudes accompanied by performance analysis provide a paced, systematic approach to the mastery of each technique. i DEDICATION I wish to dedicate this work to my beautiful niece, Nora Grace Estes, born February 9, 2013.

  • Some Extended Techniques for Saxophone
    Some Extended Techniques for Saxophone Altissimo The saxophone altissimo, or extended range, is a technique that has become quite commonplace amongst advanced and professional level players. Below, you will find written altissimo range suggestions for each instrument: Timbre Variations: The timber of a certain pitch can be varied through the use of alternate fingerings, or by opening and closing additional tone holes. For example, there are three ways to finger a middle Bb – each resulting in a difference of timbre and intonation. Middle A on the other hand has no alternate fingerings. Timber variation may be obtained through the opening and closing of additional tone holes. Quarter Tones: The saxophone is an instrument that is capable of playing quarter tones. Quarter tones are obtained through the use of so-called ‘unconventional’ fingerings. Glissando and Portamento: A glissando is characterized by rapid chromatic (sometimes diatonic) movement, while portamento is a sliding between two notes. These techniques became common of the saxophone during the 1920s Vaudeville Era, and have since made their way into contemporary literature. It is important to note that this technique is most effective in the upper register of the instrument. Slap Tonguing: As a single reed instrument, the saxophone is capable of an effect commonly referred to as “slap tonguing.” It is an effect that creates a percussive articulation, along with resonation of the desired pitch. It is as a result of suction in the mouth, and the sound that the reed produces which is amplified as it travels through the horn. This is generally notated with a plus sign (+) over the pitch.
