Fellini (Omaggio a Federico Fellini) for Alto Sax, Wind Orchestra & Circus Band 中音 管樂團

費裡尼將聽眾帶入義大利傳奇電影大師費德里科-費裡尼（Federico Fellini，1920-1993 年）的超現實主義夢幻世界。用他自己的話說，他早期受到的影響是 "電影、馬戲團、性愛和義大利麵條"。這些主題構成了戲劇四部曲，其中中音薩克斯風是馬戲團小丑的化身。他並不像傳統意義上那樣坐在指揮身邊，而是優雅地穿過舞臺，從化妝台走到沙發床上，並走到馬戲團樂隊身邊--在劇院大廳的某個地方，獨立於舞臺上的管弦樂隊。台下的馬戲團樂隊似乎來自一個平行宇宙，它的加入增強了虛幻、馬戲團般的氛圍，就像費裡尼的許多電影一樣"

原文簡介:
Fellini takes the listener into the surrealistic and dreamy world of the legendary Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini (1920-1993). His early influences were – in his own words – “Cinema, Circus, Sex & Spaghetti”. These themes form the theatrical tetralogy in which the alto saxophone serves as the personification of a circus clown. He does not take the traditional position next to the conductor, but moves gracefully across the stage from a make-up table to a sofa bed, and makes side trips to the circus band - somewhere in the lobby of the theater, independent from the orchestra on stage. Adding this offstage circus band – which seems to come from a parallel universe – enhances the unreal, circus-like atmosphere, like in many of Fellini's films.

Fellini was commissioned by Musikgesellschaft Vispe from Visp, Switzerland, and supported by the Fellini Foundation from Sion, Switzerland. The world premiere took place on November 14th and 15th, 2015 in La Poste in Visp, performed by Musikgesellschaft Vispe conducted by Johan de Meij, with Hans de Jong as the soloist on alto saxophone, for whom the piece was written.
