Gammes et Arpeges - Volume 2: Exercises Fondamentaux pour le Saxophone
Model: 48181159

Gammes et Arpèges – Cahier 2 by Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is the second of three books of exercises on scales and arpeggios for saxophone. Made for intermediate students, this method offers guidance to improve the players technique while keeping a strong musicality. An introduction on how to use the book and the exercises is given at the beginning, with explanatory illustrations. Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on the embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and, thus, of breathing. He wrote different methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone productions such as Dix-huit Exercices ou Études, Exercices Journaliers daprès Terschack or 30 Grands Exercices ou Études daprès Soussmann (in two books), among others.

Alla Gitana (for Alto Saxophone and Piano)
Model: 48181012

French composer, Paul Dukas (1865-1935) is best known for his orchestral piece, The Sorcerer's Apprentice. However, his catalogue represents many other significant works by the composer, including Alla Gitana for alto saxophone and piano. Composed in 1909, Alla Gitana was originally a selection of vocal studies. However, Marcel Mule's transcription for alto saxophone has made this delightful work more accessible. Dukas reflects the French romantic style in Alla Gitana through uses of flourishing semiquavers, lyrical melodies and chromaticism. For all aspiring, advanced saxophonists, Dukas' Alla Gitana is an exquisite addition to the repertoire.
