  • A Report on Piet Swerts' Klonos and Ingolf
    ANALYSIS OF A RECITAL: A REPORT ON PIET SWERTS’ KLONOS AND INGOLF DAHL’S CONCERTO FOR ALTO SAXOPHONE AND WIND ORCHESTRA by BENJAMIN T COLD B.M., University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, 2010 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC School of Music, Theatre, and Dance College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Approved by; Major Professor Dr. Anna Marie Wytko Copyright BENJAMIN T COLD 2012 Abstract Ingolf Dahl’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Orchestra is considered a master concert work in saxophone literature. The work was written for saxophone pioneer Sigurd Rascher who was active in commissioning new works for the instrument. Piet Swerts’ Klonos , composed over 40 years after Dahl’s Concerto , is a much newer composition. The work has gained national recognition as a popular competition piece and is a synthesis of new and old compositional styles. These two works strongly showcase the flexibility and virtuosity capable of the skilled saxophonist. This master’s report, presented as extended program notes, includes biographical information about the composers, a historical and stylistic overview of the selected compositions, and a harmonic and formal analysis of the music with respect to performance considerations.

  • Todd Oxford Fin E
    Todd Oxford is the world’s pre-eminent classical Baritone Saxophonist. His touring schedule has taken him from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Bangkok, Thailand to Lisbon, Portugal and back again to his native United States. The Chronical Herald of Halifax Todd said with regards to Mr. Oxford’s playing: “Bach’s D Minor Toccata and Fugue demanded a superlative degree of musicianship and got it from Oxford’s Baritone Sax. He whipped through the crazily pianistic fugue subject with the finesse of a Oxford ballerina, which is a little like asking a semi-trailer to zig-zag from sidewalk to sidewalk at top speed Baritone Saxophone down a crowded street without hitting anybody.” Mr. Oxford began his studies of the saxophone at age 13 and after receiving many young artist awards, initiated his advanced studies with Harvey Pittel at The University of Texas. After only two years at the university and having amassed further award recognition, he was invited to join the Harvey Pittel Saxophone Quartet as the youngest member in the 25 year history of this prestigious ensemble. As the solo Baritone Saxophonist of the HPSQ, he began to hone the skills he uses so eloquently. With the quartet, Mr. Oxford has presented concerts, radio/television performances and master classes in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., Honolulu, Sacramento CA, Rochester MN and Dallas to name a few. He performs and records as a virtuoso solo artist on the Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophones with symphony orchestras, wind ensembles and jazz ensembles to include a most recent performance/recording in Carnegie Hall.
