Chinese Ancient Dances [CF:114-41434]

Chen Yi's music is greatly respected and widely performed, so this adaptation of Chinese Ancient Dances for soprano saxophone, the composer's first work for the instrument, is certainly an asset to the woodwind catalog. Originally written for B-flat clarinet and piano, the two movements of Chinese Ancient Dances are inspired by the ancient traditional Ox Tail Dance of the Ge Tian Shi ethnic group, in addition to the Hu Xuan Dance as described in the poem "Hu Xuan Lady" by Bai Ju-Yi of the Tang Dynasty. For advanced players. Dur: 8'
