About this exposition

As a saxophonist, I always love to play arrangements of music composed for other instruments, from a massive work like César Franck's Violin Sonata, to a small delicate piece like Robert Schumann’s Drei Fantasiestücke for clarinet. However, when I play arrangements of vocal music, I always feel that there is something more to discover, beyond a purely ‘instrumental’ approach. How can the saxophone ‘sing’ like a human, when we cannot [re]produce the lyrics? Therefore, in my research I attempted to adapt the vocality of singers in saxophone playing, using different articulations and tone colors in order to imitate human voices, with a particular focus on arias from Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen: “La fleur que tu m'avais jetée,” and “Je dis que rien ne m’épouvante.”
