Concerto For Alto Saxophone & Percussion Orchestra    

Russell Peterson
Here’s a winner! Constructed in three movements, this is an outstanding concerto that features a sax soloist with accompaniment by 12 percussionists and piano. Very active mallet parts (5 marimbas - two vibes), as well as 4 multi-percussion set-ups and one timpanist (4 drums) in conjunction with piano, weave wonderful textures under busy sax melodies.

In the first movement (ca. 7’35’’), the main theme is introduced by the marimbas and builds in intensity to a powerful entrance of the solo saxophone. The saxophone takes a variation of this theme over a repetitive figure in the marimbas, influenced by the music of Steve Reich. This theme is brought back again, this time in a complex meter of 7/8 and 5/8. After a short percussion break the music of the introduction returns to end the movement.  (Sound Sample)

Movement two (ca. 4’36") begins and ends as a freely played duet between the vibraphone and saxophone. The simple chord progression used in this movement is a wonderful vehicle for the solo saxophone to play expressive melodies. 
(Sound Sample)

The third movement (ca. 3’49") is a blazing, high energy finale which unleashes the full potential of the saxophone’s technical and expressive powers. Influenced by combinations of Spanish modes and heavy-metal rock-n-roll, the movement is brought to a huge climax with the saxophone screaming over the percussion ensemble’s powerful explosions. The Coda continues to gain momentum, driving the Concerto to an exhilarating culmination.  (Sound Sample)

Short on time? - - Each of the movements is strong enough to stand on it’s own as a feature for that guest saxophonist! college/professional. [Recorded on CD: BDR2181, American Breath/Russell Peterson & on: Wood, Metal, Skin/Concordia College Percussion Ensemble]
