L'hydre A Cinq Tetes (saxophone-alto & Piano) 薩氏管 鋼琴

"法國作曲家阿蘭-盧維耶（生於 1945 年）曾就讀於巴黎音樂學院，並在該校獲得 1968 年羅馬獎。他的《五頭九頭蛇》為圓號、長號、中音薩克斯管、單簧管和巴松管的曲目增添了令人興奮的色彩。 正如標題所暗示的那樣，這首作品受到希臘神話中一種蛇形水怪--擁有多個頭顱的勒爾納九頭蛇的影響。Louvier 的作品採用了裝飾音、銜接音和呼吸音等擴展技巧，對所有樂器都具有極強的表現力。盧維耶的《五頭水怪》一般演奏時間約為四分鐘，可適用於五種不同的獨奏樂器：圓號、長號、中音薩克斯管、單簧管或巴松管，並配有鋼琴伴奏，這或許是一種諷刺。五頭九頭蛇》是為高級演奏家創作的一部具有挑戰性而又鼓舞人心的作品"

原文簡介:
“French composer, Alain Louvier (b. 1945) studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won the 1968 Prix de Rome. His Hydra with Five Heads makes for an exciting addition to the repertoires of the Horn, Trombone, Alto Saxophone, Clarinet and Bassoon. As suggested by the title, this Louvier work is influenced by a serpent-like water monster in Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra, who possessed many heads. Louvier's composition is virtousic for all instruments, exploiting extended techniques such as ornamentations, articulations, and breath notes, amongst other elements. With a typical performance lasting around four minutes, Louvier's Hydra with Five Heads is perhaps ironic in being adaptable to five different solo instruments; Horn, Trombone, Alto Saxophone, Clarinet or Bassoon, with Piano accompaniment. Hydra with Five Heads is a challenging yet inspiring work for advanced players.”
