About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 4.5 SKU: AP.98-RWS220500 Mvt. 3 from Three Conversations with Matisse. Composed by Robert W. Smith. Concert Band; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. RWS - Symphony Band. Score and Part(s). Composed 2022. RWS Music Company #98-RWS220500. Published by RWS Music Company (AP.98-RWS220500). ISBN 9781470694470. UPC: 038081610320. English.Inspired by the command and structure of two Henri Matisse paintings under the name "The Music Lesson", this powerful work for alto saxophone and band will become a staple of the repertoire. From the strict structure of the opening piano statement to the classically influenced melodic interplay with the saxophone, the piece moves through a flowing musical environment highlighted by a virtuosic cadenza. The recapitulation of the initial melodic line completes our music lesson and provides a strong conclusion to "Three Conversations With Matisse", a suite for alto saxophone and band.Original Item#: RWS-2205-00.
