About this arrangement

SKU: HL.359050 Full Score. Composed by William Bolcom. E.B. Marks. Softcover. 66 pages. Edward B. Marks Music #MP071009. Published by Edward B. Marks Music (HL.359050). ISBN 9781705120910. UPC: 840126945065. 11.0x17.0x0.43 inches.There are three movements in this Concerto. Lively, with humor contrasts the opening material featuring the high register of the saxophone with a more bluesy second theme in the lower part. Serenade follows with a sort of South Seas rhythm-and-blues atmosphere. Shimmy tosses itself between a jazz-type “head” with what customarily follows versus a 1960s early-rock-style hymn with 1930s echoes. These two things together grow into an apotheosis, ending the concerto.
