Saxophone Concerto 麥克米倫．詹姆士 薩氏管協奏曲 總譜 博浩版

作曲家表示，這首短小的協奏曲是為高音薩克斯管和絃樂團譜寫的，以蘇格蘭傳統音樂的原型為基礎。第一樂章 "進行曲"、"敘事曲 "和 "迴旋曲 "沿用了快板舞曲的模式，每個樂段的速度越來越快。第二樂章鬆散地沿用了蘇格蘭西島演唱蓋爾語詩歌的方式，即由唱詩人（此處為薩克斯管獨奏者）以旋律線領唱，然後由會眾（絃樂隊）跟唱，他們在各聲部的協奏曲流中編織出一種異音質地。最後一個樂章以吉格舞的簡單複合節奏為基礎，標記為'giocoso'。"作為薩克斯管協奏曲的重要補充，這部作品於2018年在蘇格蘭珀斯音樂廳首演，由艾米-迪克森和蘇格蘭室內樂團演奏，約瑟夫-斯文森擔任指揮

原文簡介:
Scored for soprano saxophone and string orchestra, the composer states that this short concerto is based on archetypes of Scottish traditional music. The first movement, March, Strathspey and Reel, follows the pattern of a medley of fast dance forms, each section becoming faster and faster. The second movement loosely follows the practice of singing Gaelic psalmody in the Scottish western isles, where a cantor (in this case the saxophone soloist) leads with a melodic line, to be followed by the congregation (the string orchestra) who weave a heterophonic texture out of the canonic flow of parts. The last movement is based on the simple compound rhythm of the jig, marked ‘giocoso’.A major addition to the concertante saxophone repertory, the work was first performed in 2018 at Perth Concert Hall, Scotland, by Amy Dickson and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Joseph Swensen.
