THREE NOCTURNES for Alto Saxophone

Pascal Roget’s Youtube recording of original piano version
The finest among Satie’s final works for solo piano, here transcribed for alto saxophone and piano. This is finely structured, harmonically inventive, early 20th century modernism at its best, and these transcriptions capture Satie’s unique musical personality and sensibility. They will work well as individual pieces or as a group.

TOTAL DURATION: about 8 minutes
