Ronald Binge - Concerto for Alto Saxophone 

Yes, it fits perfectly. I find it very odd that so little classical music is written for it and virtually none by well known composers.

@@micahmazzella The saxophone was patented 174 years ago (1846). It's more likely then that it's not used in classical music as the pattern had already been set by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and others. There were plenty of great classical composers in the second half of the 19th century and when classical music was probably at the peak of its popularity. The reasons they didn't adopt the saxophone are unclear.

@@micahmazzella I think that was later - more in the run-up to the jazz age, and the sax wasn't immediately accepted in jazz.

Worse when you find out its exclusion is all out of spite. The soprano, alto, tenor saxophone all fit perfectly in classical music. Dunno about the baritone tho.

@@onimaru1894 Out of spite? Care to elaborate?

Thanks

Thx bro

Can you help with the piece. I need it?

what? When I played this it was on the grade 7 spec

@@hazzahazza8589 that's the rondo part

I also would like to try it for Alto Sax… Where can I find notes? I began to start sax 🎷 and I love it from the beginning!!! If anybody has some inspiration for me for playing it, I am always happy. Sorry for my English, I hope it is understandable, I am not from an English speaking country

I’m 13 doing this for my orchestras concerto competition if it’s diploma level I’m kinda screwed but it seems like a great piece

Yes, It is on the grade 7 spec

Would be a very old cartoon but i get where youre coming from

The dude of saxophone is Luke

Funny enough the late, great Mr Sax also invented the bass clarinet among other things. He just got on the wrong side of nearly every instrument maker in Paris and essentially got the Saxophone black listed from orchestra because of it, when it was designed expressly for it.

Yeah it does I played it 2 years ago.

Yes it does. It's also part of the ATCL repertoire

@@mhuk541 Do you have the music sheet for both alto and piano? Where did you get it?

@@MrJohn-wy2hn nah i don't have it anymore. I got it from my teacher's college library

@@mhuk541 I see thanks anyway man

The Wells Cathedral School Symphony Orchestra. The soloist is Luke, one of our music specialists.

@@WellsCathedralSchoolMusic Which Luke?

It's an overall brilliant performance by the orchestra. And Luke's performance is so adequate.

I'm so glad he didn't go into sports.

Exactly 💯

it's actually very good for classical, and can also imitate most of the instruments

it's sad they are excluded from classical partiea

Is your name Trump?
