Product Description
Vorbeiziehende
Bäume [Trees passing by] is a piece for 2
saxophones where the Southamerican origin of the composer clearly arises to the
surface: an original metamorphosis of the tango
argentino flirting with jazz.
Vorbeiziehende
Bäume is part of
a set of eleven pieces for saxophone duo (all others will be uploaded soon)
called Eisenbahn (Railroad). All eleven pieces have titles related to
the railway. If you are wondering why a German title, the reason is quite
simple: that's where the composer lives.
In this edition, Vorbeiziehende Bäume is offered in four instrumental combinations:
- 2 saxophones (2 Tenor or 2 Alto)
- Alto Sax + Tenor Sax
- 2 Baritone Sax
- Bb Clarinet + Tenor Sax
No parts are needed: scores are already transposed (practice showed that it
is much efficient to read this piece from the score, seeing also the partner's
part).
The piece, that is dedicated to Albanian clarinetist Ibrahim Gunbardhi, has been performed by him together with Mr. Thomas Sauer. Here is a rehearsal:

The composer's
description on the score reflects an experience that most of us had:
Imagine you are on a
train.
You see different
landscapes
through the window.
But somehow it's always
the same.
