Alto saxophone, piano and string orchestra - Grade 4-5
SKU: ET.SAX7B
Composed by Vartan Adjemian. Contemporary. Orchestra score. Composed 2008. Duration 8'30. Editions BIM #SAX7B. Published by Editions BIM (ET.SAX7B).
ISBN 9790207000132.
Commissioned by Philippe Pfisterer, Director of the Department Council for Music and Culture of Haute-Alsace (France), “Adventure has the same solo alto saxophone part, for three different accompaniements, as per the request of the commissioning body, which sought to maximize the work's prospective performance opportunities: 1) solo , string orchestra with piano, 2) solo and piano (reduction), and 3) solo and wind ensemble (10 woodwinds, 8 brass instruments, percussion). The title of the piece was conceived during the composition process. This is the first work for solo saxophone written by Vartan Adjemian, although he had frequently used the instrument in his jazz pieces. A special consideration was to create a piece that could be played by talented young musicians, ergo, content, melody and virtuosity had to be merged with a sense of proportionality in Adventure, which, in today's parlance, could, perhaps best be described as a crossover type of work in which many different styles and genres are presented in a single entity.
