Eb Alto Saxophone and Piano - Grades 6-8/Late Intermediate to Advanced
SKU: ST.C665
Composed by Rob Hall. Saxophone. Contemporary. Clifton Edition #C665. Published by Clifton Edition (ST.C665).
ISBN 9790570816651.
Close Encounters for Eb Alto Saxophone & Piano draws on historic themes connected to the medieval closes and courts of Edinburgh. Often named after prominent residents, these ancient passageways are given life by the records of their occupiers or through local legend. More familiar characters include the duplicitous William Brodie, characterised by Robert Louis Stevenson as Dr Jekyll and his alter ego Mr Hyde, and Mary King whose close was named as the supposed source of the Black Death plague. The Hidden Garden refers to David Dunbar's Mushroom Garden. By Leaves We Live reflects Riddle's Court's association with ecological studies, set against Maqam Jam which takes flight with prison escapee Andrew Gray who made his fortune in North Africa before returning to the Scottish capital to settle in what became known as Morocco Land. Just beyond the old town perimeter, Jacob's Ladder is a secluded, steep staircase that connects with nearby Calton Hill. Suitable for intermediate to advanced saxophonists. Contents 1. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Brodie's Close) 2. Street of Sorrows (Mary King's Close) 3. Jacob’s Ladder (Calton Hill) 4. The Hidden Garden (Dunbar's Close) 5. By Leaves We Live / Maqam Jam (Riddle's Court / Morocco Land) Cover illustration: George McBean is an Edinburgh based artist who has produced illustrations and animated film over a 36 year career, most famously for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). www.georgemcbean.com "Close Encounters for Eb Alto Saxophone & Piano, like it’s companion clarinet counterpart, is made up of five captivating and highly contrasted movements, each creating a musical picture of an old town close to be found in the glorious city of Edinburgh. The colourful and accessible harmonic language is derived from influences associated with the world of the saxophone. There are clearly jazz-inspired moments alongside some occasional cinematic flavours and glimpses of the wonderful saxophone repertoire emanating from early 20th century French composers. The result is a very attractive suite that is both a delight to play and to listen to. The five movements offer the intermediate to advanced player much to enjoy in creating a performance, and fully exploit the technical and sound world of the instrument — in every way a valuable addition to the repertoire." Paul Harris (composer & educator).
