Summary of This Book
Part of the Grade By Grade series, this collection offers a carefully curated overview of pieces suited to the demands and goals of Grade 5 saxophone. The concept is simple: to gather, in a practical format, a repertoire rich enough to support lessons, structure exam preparation, and provide pieces immediately usable in concerts or auditions.
The selection highlights the diversity of the Boosey & Hawkes catalogue, combining essential composers such as Serge Prokofieff, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Karl Jenkins with composers prominent in educational repertoire, such as Carol Barratt and Christopher Norton. This variety allows for interpretation work across contrasting styles while consolidating the technical fundamentals expected at this level.
The collection also embraces traditional world music through arrangements by Peter Wastall, Vera Gray, and other arrangers. An excellent choice to broaden musical culture, refine articulation, phrasing, and stylistic sense, while maintaining a difficulty level consistent with a Grade 5 pathway.
