Chanson Et Passepied

Well the end of the semester is drawing near, which means that my saxophone jury is also approaching. A jury is a test in which a music student passes off repertoire for faculty and then graded based on the student's performance. I began working on my prepared piece in late August and has been the center of my daily practice. The title of the piece is Chanson Et Passepied composed by Jeanine Rueff. The piece begins with a slow, tranquil melody but then becomes a faster, playful song. The tempo and rhythm in the fast part has given me the most difficulty, but it has become better. My favorite part of the piece is in the slow beginning section. Overall i have put a lot of work into this piece and I hope I play it well at my jury.

(Here is a recording. I do not own it.)
