  • 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.

This part doubles the Flute an octave higher. As a result of thin scoring and distance of players from each other, this passage is very difficult to play quietly enough and be in tune. FLUTE • Measures 78–80 (first version) or 76–78 (second version): Experiment with alternate fingerings to match pitch with the Trumpet CLARINET 1st Clarinet • Cut to half section in all tutti altissimo parts, i.e., measures 15–33 2nd Clarinet • Measures 63–64: Do not play the descending line • Measures 18, 21, 24, and 27: TACET • Measure 69: Delete 3/2 time signature ALTO CLARINET • Measures 69–72: This section is in unison with Bass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, and 1st Bassoon. It is written high for all three instruments, so intonation can be a problem. This passage needs to be isolated so the players can adjust. It may be wise to leave out the Bassoon, as it is covered in other parts. An Educator’s Guide... 1 Preamble for a Solemn Occasion BASSOON • Measures 69–71: Watch intonation between 1st and 2nd Bassoons SAXOPHONE • Alto Saxophone, measures 69–72: perform with one Alto Saxophone only. Intonation between the Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Bassoon, Alto Clarinet, and Bass Clarinet is difficult, but critical to this passage. Isolate and rehearse this section until intonation is satisfactory.

  • The Evolution of the Baritone Saxophone in Jazz History
    THE BARITONE CHRONOLOGY a study of the baritone saxophone evolution in jazz history Piersimone Crinelli Degree Project, Master of Fine Arts in Music, Improvisation Spring Semester 2015 Degree Project, 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Music, Improvisation Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Spring Semester 2015 Author: Piersimone Crinelli Title: The baritone chronology – a study of the baritone saxophone evolution in jazz history Supervisor: Per Anders Nilsson Examiner: Anders Tykesson ABSTRACT This project investigates the history of the baritone saxophone. The role of the baritone saxophone as a soloist instrument has historically often been overshadowed by the tenor or the alto saxophone. Even if important innovations have been made by many great baritonists during the years, no extensive literature regarding the baritone saxophone is to be found. My aim with this Masters´ thesis is to trace the history of the baritone saxophone from its invention until the modern era, around the 80´s. My research questions are: which innovations have been done on the baritone saxophone in the previous century regarding sound, phrasing and articulation? Is there a relation between the first baritone players in jazz history and the modern ones? My purpose is to contribute to the literature regarding the baritone saxophone, creating a chronology of the most influential soloists in jazz music. My aim is also to find methods that could be helpful in a correct approach to the instrument. In addition to this, I have analyzed the ways in which the greatest baritonists have influenced my personal musical background, thus creating a link to my own artistic profile.
