Summary of This Book
With this collection, the alto saxophone takes the lead role in "top-line" arrangements (highlighted melodic line) drawn from soundtracks and iconic songs of contemporary cinema. The goal is simple: quickly capture the atmosphere of the films while having a clear support to work on tone, intonation, and the typical phrasing of pop titles and film music.
The download card provides real convenience for practice. You can first listen to a reference version, ideal for internalizing tempo, articulation, and musical intentions. Then, you replay the same piece with a full accompaniment track from which the saxophone part has been removed: you naturally fit into the mix as if leading a band, making practice more motivating and very effective for preparing a performance.
The content highlights essential and highly requested themes, perfect for varying colors and emotions on the alto sax: "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" (Frozen), "Happy" (Despicable Me 2), "Everything Is Awesome!!!" (The Lego Movie), as well as "Skyfall" (Skyfall), "I See Fire" (The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug), "All Of The Stars" (The Fault In Our Stars), "Atlas" (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), "A Thousand Years" (Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1), "Once Upon A Dream" (Maleficent), and "Suddenly" (Les Miserables). A saxophone fingering guide is also included to help you transition more quickly from the sheet music to playing.
