Saxophone - difficult - Digital Download
SKU: S9.Q18134
For Soprano (or Alto) Saxophone solo. Composed by Thierry Pecou. This edition: Sheet music. Score. Duration 6 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q18134. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q18134).
The composition Perroquets d’azur owes its existence to the oboist François Leleux who issued the commission in 1993 and gave the first performance of the work. The composition was quasi reborn when the saxophonist Nicolas Prost persuaded me to produce an arrangement for saxophone which was premiered in 2008. In adherence to a compositional tradition which attempts to transfer a polyphonic structure to a monodic instrument and simultaneously inspired by the folkloristic music I heard on my first journeys to Cuba and Mexico, it was my intention to communicate an impression of the multifaceted complex rhythmic polyphony characterising Afro-Cuban music. The piece exploits all registers of the oboe and additionally incorporates the brief incipit of a Yoruban chant in praise of the god Changó. The music develops in an atmosphere of increasing effervescence, culminating in an intensification of the rhythmic nucleus of Afro-Cuban music: the clave.
Getreu einer Werktradition, die versucht, eine polyphone Struktur auf ein einstimmiges Instrument zu übertragen, und gleichzeitig inspiriert von der folkloristischen Musik aus Kuba und Mexiko, will dieses Stück einen Eindruck von der Vielgliedrigkeit der komplexen rhythmischen Polyphonie, wie sie in der afro-kubanischen Musik vorherrschend ist, vermitteln. Die Partitur entwickelt sich in einer Atmosphäre wachsender Erregung, um in einer Übersteigerung der rhythmischen Keimzelle der afro-kubanischen Musik zu enden: der clave.
