Morgan, Sr. Concert Hall May 1, 2013 Sonata Lawson Lunde (b. 1935) I. Allegro II. Andantino Cantabile III. Allegro Vivace Solo for Alto Saxophone and Piano Bernhard Heiden (b. 1910) Tableaux de Provence Paule Maurice (1910-1967) I. Farandoulo di Chatouno II. Cansoun per ma Mio III. La Boumiano IV. Dis Alyscamps L’amo Souspire V. Lou Cabridan This recital is presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree Bachelor of Music in Music Education. Mr. Miles studies saxophone with Sam Skelton. Lawson Lunde - Sonata (1956) Lunde, a Chicago-based composer and pianist, wrote thirteen composi- tions utilizing the saxophone, six of which are sonatas. As a pianist, he performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the age of 14, and lat- er studied composition with Vittorio Rieti and Robert Delaney. His com- positional style features great lyricism and rhythmic energy. This three- movement sonata was dedicated to Cecil Leeson and Brian Minor, two saxophonists that were vital in enhancing the reputation of the classical saxophone in the United States. Bernhard Heiden - Solo for Alto Saxophone and Piano (1969) Bernard Heiden was a German-American composer heavily influenced by his teacher, Paul Hindemith. Heiden’s music is described by composer Nicolas Slonimsky as “neoclassical in its formal structure, and strongly polyphonic in texture; it is distinguished also by its impeccable formal balance and effective instrumentation.” This particular work was commissioned by Eugene Rousseau, a well- known saxophonist and educator, for the first meeting of the World Saxo- phone Congress, held in December of 1969.

I want to thank Dr. Eugene Rousseau, Professor Emeritus Jack Beeson, Sarah Field, the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain, Dr. Julia Nolan, Dr. Pamela Youngdahl Dees, Dr. Carolyn Bryan, and Dr. William Street, for generously taking a call from a stranger in search of Paule Maurice.

The paper is divided into two halves-the first introduces Paule Maurice and her work, Tableaux de Provence. The analysis of the piece follows the background information on the composer and the work itself. The second half of the writing follows the same format-Alexander Glazunov and his saxophone conce110 are discussed, and the analysis of Concerto in E17atMajor.fir Saxophone and String Orchestra, Op. 109 follows. Paule Maurice Not much information is widely known on the life and career of Paule Maurice. She was a French composer and educator born in Paris, France in 19 10. She studied harmony and counterpoint with the Gallon brothers and composition with Henri Brusser at the Paris conservatory (Moore 13). She began her professional career as a composer in the late 1930's. She was appointed as professorof sight reading in 1942 and of harmonic analysis in 1965 at the Paris conservatory (Moore 14). She also worked as an assistant to Jean Gallon, her harmony professor from 1933 until 1947 (Moore 14).

SCHOOL OF MUSIC SENIOR RECITAL BRIAN ANTHONY KUPERMAN, SAXOPHONE Betty Jo Couch, piano Studio of James Bishop November 4, 2007 5:30 P.M. Elizabeth Hall Leslie Bassett (b. 1923) Music for Saxophone and Piano Fast Slow Moderato Fast Paule Maurice (1910-1967) Tableaux de Provence Farandoulo di chatouno Cansoun per ma mio La Boumiano Dis Alyscamps l'amo souspire Lou Cabridan This recital is given in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Bachelor of Music Education. Out of courtesy to the performers, and those seated next to you, it is requested that all electronic devices be turned off. Please no text messaging during the performance. STETSON UNVERSTY Leslie Bassett is an American composer, born in Hanford, California. He attended California State, in Fresno, the University of Michigan, and Ecole Normale de Musique, in Paris. Bassett joined the 13th Armored Division Band as a trombonist and arranger during World War II. He has written works for orchestra, wind ensemble, as well as chamber and solo repertoire. In addition to instrumental work, Bassett has written electronic music and is one of the founders of the University of Michigan's Electronic Music Studio. Bassett's Music for Saxophone and Piano is not serial; however, it employs similar chromaticism and coherence. The saxophone uses a wide dynamic range, as well as improvisatory qualities of jazz, although all the music is notated. The piano part utilizes uncommon performance practice such as dampening strings with the hands or tape in order to create a pizzicato articulation, as heard in the opening of the first movement.
