Too Upset for Words (2003) for alto saxophone, guitar, and piano was commissioned by and
is dedicated to Aris Carastathis and the Lakehead University New Music Ensemble.
The work is cast in two very short movements that use the same basic musical material. The
work contrasts lyrical gestures with ones of extreme violence -- all derived from the same
musical sources.
The first movement, Rages, continually brings back a loud piano crash. Out of the harmonics
of this sound come the saxophone and guitar's material.
The second movement, Reflections, freely explores some of the gestures of the first
movement. The pitches of the musical ideas become deconstructed -- existing only as pitch
entities in a free section.  All players play from the same score, hence in purchasing this file, you have the right to print three copies.

Swan Lake, is the first ballet of three composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Here, the famous main theme is arranged for Solo Alto Saxophone and Piano, directly from the orchestral score. The first performance of the ballet in Moscow in 1877 was not well received. The production was fraught with disagreements between choreographer and composer; the Russian audience were suspicious of the story’s Germanic origins and the music was regarded as too complex for ballet. Tchaikovsky did not live to see a triumphant revival production in 1895 that confirmed Swan Lake as one of the greatest ballet scores of all.

Included in the single download are six pages of piano score and a separate two-page part for the solo instrument. The short sample here and the full length version on the youtube link are from the Clarinet version of this arrangement.

Musicians at an intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. The melody is expressive and legato; the accompaniment is challenging in parts, with tremolos and rich chords. Both parts require dramatic dynamic contrasts and the solo part explores a wide range of the instrument. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes.
