Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1497822 Composed by Alan Bullard. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical. 50 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #1074231. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1497822). Scored for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone saxophones, these colourful portraits are loosely inspired, both in terms of mood and technique, by three Picasso paintings. The clear-cut jazz rhythms of Harlequin give way to the intense inner tragedy of Weeping Woman, which is followed by The Three Dancers, superficially light-hearted but with a hidden desperation beneath. The download contains a full score and a set of parts.Three Picasso Portraits were commissioned by the Saxology Saxophone Quartet and were first performed St Martin's in the Fields, London, in June 1992. A recording is available by Saxology on the CD 'English Quartets', Meridian CDE 84376, and the sheet music is published by Colne Edition, www.colneedition.co.uk.
