樂曲解說

【長笛、豎笛、薩克斯風協奏】
為木管樂器演奏家加里福斯特創作的《給長笛、豎笛和中音薩克斯風的組曲》是給多位木管樂器演奏家的完美樂曲。開場快板以長笛為特色，既展示了技術實力，也展示了受爵士樂影響的抒情主題。回到快板之後是華彩樂段，然後切換到豎笛，演奏令人難忘的美麗的緩板，以及華麗的華爾茲。以中音薩克斯風進入尾聲，獨奏家再次展示了偉大的技術以及抒情的演奏，是一個難度偏高但非常有效的獨奏作品！

Composed for woodwind artist Gary Foster, the “Suite for Solo Flute, Clarinet and Alto Sax” is a perfect concert showpiece for the multiple woodwind instrumentalist. The opening allegro features flute, demonstrating both technical prowess as well as a jazz-influenced lyrical theme. A return to the allegro is followed by a cadenza, then a switch to clarinet for a haunting and beautiful Lento, and a showy waltz. Concluding on alto saxophone, the soloist again demonstrates great technique as well a lyrical playing. A demanding but extraordinarily effective solo work!
