Performance Theme

Well this year for my final performance recital I have to play for 30 minutes. The repertoire I chose has to be based on a theme.

I found it quite tricky to think of one but after speaking to a couple of the saxophone tutors. I decided to find pieces I would like to play and try to fit a theme around them.

This helped as I had a piece by Amy Quate -'The Light of Sothis' which I hadn't yet performed since it was composed in 1982 my saxophone tutor- Allan agreed on a theme of 'Saxophone Music from the 20th Century'. This was perfect.

So far I only have two pieces : 'The Light of Sothis' by Amy Quate 

and 'Blues Concerto for Alto Saxophone' by Bill Holcombe.

I am still in the process of picking other pieces but that shouldn't take too long if my tutor and I brain storm together.
