Synopsis "Newmusicshelf Anthology of new Music: Alto Saxophone, Vol. 1 (Alto Saxophone Part) (in English)"
ALTO SAXOPHONE PARTCurated by saxophonist Alan Theisen, this collection of 16 works for alto saxophone (7 unaccompanied, 9 with piano) is ideal for active performers looking for exciting new repertoire, saxophone teachers searching for fresh contemporary works for their studios, or student performers seeking out unique and culturally-relevant new works to fulfill 21st century repertoire requirements.These pieces, which were composed exclusively in the 21st century, represent a broad range of compositional styles from composers living and writing today, and were curated for intermediate through advanced players. Many of the pieces in this volume are excerpted from larger works, available directly from the composers.Including works by: Stephanie Ann Boyd, Wes Flinn, George N. Gianopoulos, Anthony R. Green, Chia-Yu hsu, Lori Laitman, Quinn Mason, Aaron Jay Myers, Garrett Shatzer, Clare Shore, Aleksander Sternsfeld-Dunn, Alan Theisen, Cassie Wieland, Chelsea Williamson, Tetsuya Yamamoto, and Roger Zare.The NewMusicShelf Anthologies of New Music are a bold, new publishing initiative aimed at bringing new and unknown composers and repertoire to student and professional performers alike. With an emphasis on works not found in the traditional publishing ecosystem, each volume is curated by performers who have a reputation for championing new music, with an eye toward selecting works with a range of styles and difficulties that are suitable for concert and recital performance.With this innovative mode of publishing, NewMusicShelf advocates for self-published composers in a way previously unheard of in the realm of classical music: all self-published composers retain full ownership of their work while earning a generous royalty on every sale. Your support of this project directly benefits these composers, and also helps NewMusicShelf to continue to promote the works of the many excellent composers writing today. We encourage you to explore these composers' catalogs in greater depth, and hope that these works inspire many fruitful and rewarding collaborations!
