Alto saxophone (or other saxophones) solo - advanced to difficult - Digital Download
SKU: S9.Q11647
Composed by Raaf Hekkema. This edition: Sheet music. Für Alt-Saxophon solo. Score. Schott Music - Digital #Q11647. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q11647).Traditional form meets modern melody: Raaf Hekkema's 'Suite' is based on the classical form of Bach's French dance suite with Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Saraband, Minuet, and Gigue. Hekkema gives each movement its own modern character: The Prelude is based on a free melody, like the tradition librement opening of a French suite for lute from the 17th century. In the Allemande, an improvisatory melody develops over an ostinato bass whereas the Courante is a fast, softly swinging movement. The Saraband with multiphonic chords resembles a thoughtful etude, and the Minuet plays with the complexity of three long musical eras. The final dance, the Gigue, turns out to be really 'funky'.
