I have seen a sax quartet bring a large school room filled with hundreds of\nchildren come to a complete halt with one tutti note. Many people don't realize just how\nmuch power exists in this group of instruments, and often they may not realize the\npotential for beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soprano sax in particular produces a tone of warmth and a real agility that\nallows it to sing like none of the other instruments in this group. So it seemed fitting\nwhen I found myself being approached by several saxophonists, to arrange my \"Oboe\nConcerto\" for this instrument. There are not a lot of works for the soprano sax in a\nconcerto format; and the ranges of both oboe and soprano are similar. Because the\nsaxophone has more power to it than an oboe, I thought that this instrument would\nbalance the accompanying ensemble quite well, but give listeners a chance to hear its\nexquisite beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original work was commissioned in 2005 by The Minnesota Commissioning\nClub. This arrangement was premiered in 2007 at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary\nMusic, Marin Alsop, conducting.\n--Jennifer Higdon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Solo Part with Piano Reduction","offer_id":45032369586255,"sku":"LAWD-358","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45032369619023,"sku":"LAWD-359","price":86.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"higdon-soprano-sax-concerto-version-for-wind-ensemble-lawdon-3","title":"Higdon: Soprano Sax Concerto (Version for Wind Ensemble)","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/jennifer-higdon\"\u003eJennifer Higdon (1962-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano Reduction, Soprano Saxophone\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eChamber Orchestra, Soprano Saxophone\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/higdon-soprano-sax-concerto-2007\"\u003eSoprano Sax Concerto (2007)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003ePROGRAM NOTES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have always been struck by the range of power and beauty that comes from\nsaxophones.
