Saxophone Competition - PRIZE!

Ok guys, since I received only two entries, I am going to declare both the winning pieces....jrcramer's work was very mature and modern, capturing influence from many styles and JimmyJuicin's was pleasant, playful and fun...

I will record both works... Could you please both send me sax parts by themselves? Also, do either of you play piano. I don't play and both of your pieces require it...If you can record the piano or know someone who can, I can finish the recordings quicker...I have a friend who can record it as I said before but it will take a little longer because we are both teachers and he won't have a chance to learn the music for a couple months.

Hi Ben!

thanks, this is a nice outcome. I can imagine it is a bit disappointing that after hosting such a nice competition there are only 2 entries. But, this is a nice way of dealing with it :D

I play the piano, but do not have the time (and now I think of it, not the equipment either), just as your friend, because I am working on a thesis this period. When I find some time I'll inform you, but do not yet count on that...

I have been working on the sax parts, I'll send them to you after I have finished them.

well I had planned on doing a couple of them anyways if there were good entries and I was more hopeful that people would explore the sax as many are afraid to compose for it or don't take it seriously or something.

It is a shame that there weren't more entrants... but i shouldn't complain. I'm finally getting someone to play one of my pieces!

I do play piano, but my piece does have some sections that requires the performers to communicate with each other (primarily the solo section in the first mvt). I also quite frankly don't have the equiptment to do any sort of good recording... so if i MUST do it, i do have the ability, but I have no problem waiting :cool:

Ok guys, well send me the sax parts when you can..It will take me a while to learn both pieces..you both have some technical sections, but I will try to record them as soon as I can.. I was trying to figure out exactly I was going to workout the solo part with the recording, Jimmy with its layered sax background..I was thinking I would record the piano alone there even if the rest is recorded together live so I could do a few different improvs and choose..but anyways, please be a little bit patient for the recordings. They will come.

  • 2 weeks later...

The saxparts and the piano (with sax) parts, can be found at http://www.box.net/shared/nll710ol9f

I am a bit late with providing the parts, sorry for that... :ermm:

Good luck and have fun playing. As for the pianist, there is no rush, but projects that take time tend to be forgotten (it is how it works with me ;) )

So I hope it is not going to happen here (think not). I am quite excited about this. Have fun again!
