March of the Three Kings for Mixed (Soprano & Alto) Saxophone Duet at the Intermediate level.
The Crusades, those religious expeditions to rescue the holy places in Palestine from the Muslims, created an enormous interest in both faith and fighting in the Middle Ages. French peasants from Provence in the 13th century, when the tune for this March of the Kings was being sung and danced to, must have endowed the Three Kings of the Christmas story with all the virtues and appearance of their own folk heroes nearer at hand. These were the French dukes, clad in gleaming armor, carrying brilliant banners and bejeweled shields, who fought for the Pope far more willingly than they would have for the lives of their own serfs. Hence the martial references in this text, sung to a tune that is perhaps even older than the verses. Georges Bizet, composer of the opera Carmen, used the same tune as a farandole, or stately dance, in his incidental music for Alphonse Daudet’s play L’Arlesienne (The Woman from Aries). The March of the Three Kings has been arranged in the sax friendly key of g minor at the intermediate level. Performance time: approx. 2 minutes.

If you like Lady Allyson's Minuet from Robert Vandall's remarkable Book One of Celebrated Solos, I hope you will enjoy teaching and playing this piece. 

Mr. Vandall's love for his own students is manifest in his recognition that new pieces needed to be created for contemporary students.  His students, like most others, were starved for something new and fresh.  Mr. Vandall's compositions were a gift to them, and also to us!

My compositions for Elementary and Intermediate piano students build on the ideas of composers including Robert Vandall, Catherine Rollin, Martha Mier, Dennis Alexander, E. L. Lancaster, and others.  

My unique presentation continues the spirit of Robert Vandall in an important way:  not only are the sounds new for today's students, the means of communcation has also been updated to meet the needs of today's students.  Having all of the fundamental technique on the page in terms understandable to elementary piano students enables students to spend more time playing music rather than figuring out how to play music.

I know full well the consequences of this approach:  weaker reading in the short term, which is more than compensated for by correct (and more advanced) technique and ability to play more, and more interesting, music. 

The approach I have chosen restores playing music on the piano as the primary focus of the piano student/teacher relationship.  Learning to read music is an important secondary goal, and will, in my experience, stand a better chance of being mastered by students who have played a greater ranger of the compelling music that is available today.

(PS I started putting in all the finger numbers and hand positions for elementary students because I couldn't stand hearing and seeing the incorrect technical solutions these wonderful children came up with on their own.  They deserved better.)

Cinq Danses Français Anciennes (Five Old French Dances)

V. Le Basque

Arranged standard wind quintet

This dance features the horn.

Marin Marais (1656 – 1728) was a French composer and viol player at the royal court of Versailles. His most famous works are his five books of Pièces de Viole, from which these pieces are taken.

The Five Old French Dances were first presented as a single edition in the early twentieth century, arranged for viola and piano by Maud E Aldis and Louis T Rowe.

The pieces in the set are as follows and my arrangement of each piece features a different member of the quintet:

L'Agréable - oboe
La Provençale - flute 
La Musette - bassoon
La Matelotte - clarinet
Le Basque - horn

They are all available on this site.

I have also arranged this piece for horn quartet and for horn and piano..

This is a shorter version of the original, and this vesrion was played many times as an encore piece by the late great hornist Dennis Brain who called it “a little French dance, which also happens to be the shortest piece I know.�.
