Saxophone Sonatas
Description:
This program is comprised of select works that showcase the
diversity of the saxophone sonatas. Most of the program is
accompanied, but the Sonate by Jeanine Rueff is one
of the few unaccompanied sonatas in the saxophone repertoire.
Its high level of technicality contrasts nicely with the lyricism
of the Sonata by Robert Muczynski. John Harbison's San
Antonio is the definition of program music.
weaving the story a traveler in the city. It bridges with other
cultures music and saxophone sonorities, using Spanish rhythms
and extensive use of the altissimo register. The Sonata by
John Cheetham is a very straight-forward, listener-friendly
work that was composed for Dr. Kenneth Tse at the University
of Iowa who is Mr. Sandberg's teacher. The program would also
feature a world premier Sonata for Alto
Saxophone and Piano,
composed by Mr. Sandberg's wife Lisa.
