Product details
Together We Unite Through Music has been performed worldwide, including London's Royal College of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Birmingham Conservatoire.
This piece celebrates the re-opening of concert halls and live music across the world as together we unite through music. It takes us on a journey: from the start of lockdown to the celebratory moment as we are able to perform on stage together again.
Soothing contemporary playing techniques are featured in this work.
Opening with soft raindrop sounds on the roof (key clicks, sax tapping and slap-tongue effects), saxophonists begin to whistle in a bird-like manner, imitating a chorus of birds.
Wind sound wave effects lead into an uplifting, dream-like and dance-like rhythmic section with a powerful, exhilarating, celebratory and unifying finish as all saxophonists come together and unite through music again.
This piece can be played with or without the Bass Sax part. All contemporary sax techniques are clearly explained in the Score/Parts and can be played by students who have had no prior experience with extended techniques.
Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 set of 13 performance parts (221p. -- A4 (portrait))
