Summary of This Book
This saxophone sheet music collection offers 60 well-known pieces, carefully selected to cover a wide range of styles and moods. You will find film soundtrack themes that immediately make the instrument "sing," pages from the classical repertoire to work on intonation and phrase shaping, as well as jazz and blues standards to develop a sense of swing, articulation, and interpretation. The whole is designed for beginner and intermediate saxophonists, with accessible titles but rich enough to progress over time.
The selection highlights melodies that are enjoyable to play repeatedly: "A Whole New World" (Aladdin), "My Heart Will Go On" (Titanic), "Moon River" (Breakfast At Tiffany's), "Love Theme" (The Godfather), "Mission: Impossible," and "Goldfinger." On the musicals side, find classics like "Memory" (Cats), "The Music Of The Night" (The Phantom Of The Opera), "I Dreamed A Dream" (Les Misérables), "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" (Evita), "Wilkommen" (Cabaret), and "You're The One That I Want" (Grease). To vary the colors, the collection also includes pop and soul titles such as "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay," "Fix You," "Fields Of Gold," "Angels," "Yesterday," and "Stand By Me."
Jazz and blues enthusiasts can work on essential standards like "Satin Doll," "In A Sentimental Mood," "Perdido," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Fly Me To The Moon," and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." Finally, classical pieces and famous themes complete the set, including "Ave Maria" (Schubert), "Clair De Lune" (Debussy), "Gymnopédie No.1" (Satie), "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" (Bach), "Largo" (Handel), and "Promenade" (Mussorgsky). An excellent resource for practicing sight-reading, breathing, expressiveness, and style, while building a solid repertoire for lessons, auditions, and playing for pleasure.
