Scott Joplin is celebrated as the United States’ first well-known black composer, making his name as a writer of piano rags. His life was a constant struggle with adversity, and Joplin died relatively young in 1917, at the dawn of the recording age. Few remembered Joplin’s music until a revival in the 1970s brought The Entertainer and others to the world’s attention. Nowadays Scott Joplin has taken his rightful place in the gallery of great American composers.

They have been arranged as duets for one Sopranoand one Alto Saxophone, and include all sections of the original compositions. The YouTube link showcases the clarinet version of these duets.

Musicians will find these Ragtime duets ideal for formal and informal performances, light and fun, yet still a serious and vitally important part of the American musical heritage. The overall performance time for all five is around 25 minutes.

Composed by Paul Wehage. Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 21 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3395439. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.534369).

I. Invention
II. Arioso
III. Gigue

The Sonatine for Two Like Saxophones is dedicated to the memory of Germaine Tailleferre
and is especially influenced by her Sonata for Solo Clarinet, a work in which she explored
atonal language. It may be played on any two saxophones of the same type (ie two soprano
saxophones in Bb, two baritone saxophones in Eb etc).

The work is in three movements. The first, « Invention », uses a strict contrapunctal
treatment of a theme in fourths. The Second, « Arioso », is a slow lyric dance in ¾. The
Third movement, « Gigue », is based on a « hunting horn » motif which also exploits the use
of 6/8 superimposed on ¾.
