THE SAXOPHONE IS YOUR VOICE<br />

Thoughts for saxophonists and other wind instrumentalists<br />

15<br />

DAILY PRACTICE<br />

EXERCISES<br />

Most saxophonists say that their model for a perfect sound is the human voice and this is, of course, a worthy aim.<br />

by John Harle<br />

But exactly how to get that sound Essential – that techniques liquid, floating, for regular personal practice statement – has, in reality, evaded most of us,<br />

most of the time. We can get close sometimes, when all the conditions seem to be right, but how can we reproduce<br />

that ‘vocal sound’ that somehow seems to lift our playing time after time without a technical framework to rely on –<br />

without really knowing how we’re doing it?<br />

The sound of the voice in singing or speaking relies on three naturally interconnected processes – the air travelling<br />

from the lungs, the vocal folds producing vibrations, and those vibrations becoming louder in the open spaces<br />

and liquid resonating areas of the head before exiting the mouth. Substituting the vocal system with saxophone<br />

concepts, we do, of course, share the same breathing system as singers, but our vibration producer is a saxophone<br />

reed. The third element in the singer’s set-up – the resonators in the head – is the area saxophonists are least aware<br />

of, but this is the key to finding our ‘vocal saxophone sound’. By developing our knowledge of the resonators in<br />

the head, they may become a natural and integral part of our playing. Whatever the source of vibration – vocal<br />

folds or saxophone reed – the resonators are the key to the expansion of that vibration into musical sound, and if<br />

understood and used in the same way as singers, will produce a saxophone sound that is uncannily like the human<br />

voice. When the saxophone reed vibrations are resonating fully in the head, we sense a ‘letting go’ of tension and<br />

our sounds become more personal. What happens in these resonating areas is where the sound of the saxophone<br />

and reed changes into music – and where ‘technique’ has a true musical beginning. The sound becomes humanised,<br />

warmer and softer: a mirror of our thoughts and our individual physical construction. Two other extraordinary<br />

things happen: intonation issues are more or less completely solved and articulation becomes much easier, crisper<br />

and faster.<br />

122 THE SAXOPHONE: VOLUME 2<br />

“The challenge is to sing on something that’s outside of your body.”<br />

Stan Getz<br />

The Saxophone presents my view of how our sound can transcend the ordinary<br />

and visit the magical world of true musical connection with an audience – and the<br />

book provides both structure and insights into achieving that. It’s based on the<br />

evolution of my personal technique over many years, and<br />

my use of the head resonators as part of my day-to-day<br />

playing. But it has only been after intensive investigation<br />

into the system of resonation adopted by singers that I have<br />

been able to articulate how to do this fully. You will discover<br />

that by heightening your awareness of what happens inside<br />

your body before the saxophone sound leaves through the<br />

instrument, you can learn how your body, the saxophone<br />

and the reed inter-connect and how you can refine your<br />

playing. The concepts within The Saxophone were<br />

developed over many years – it has been a labour of love<br />

born out of the infinite possibilities for personal expression<br />

that the saxophone bestows on us. Individuality and<br />

power are in all of us, and my method will help you release<br />

your own power and find your true, personal<br />

saxophone sound.<br />

“The Saxophone is a work of art,<br />

combining scientific research with<br />

balanced and poetic presentation”<br />

Claude Delange<br />

PERFORMANCE<br />

Transcending the ordinary<br />

Chapter outline<br />

This section touches briefly on some general aspects of performance, analyzes what happens<br />

as we perform, and gives strategies for preparation and performance:<br />

• Performance vision – ideas for creating personal models for your performance<br />

• Performance style – some practical thoughts about ou role as instrumental soloists<br />

• Unlocking performance – what happens as we perform?<br />

• The performance system – practical aspects of preparation and performance<br />

• Music as words – pacing your playing to engage your audience<br />

• Practice and performance strategies how to practise specific pieces for performance<br />

• Adrenalin and performance anxiety – how to cope under pressure.<br />

Performance vision<br />

Taking charge<br />

Taking charge of your own playing and performance style is more important<br />

today than it ever has been. As many of the old certainties about careers in<br />

music evaporate, the shifting goalposts of the modern musical world require<br />

today’s successful saxophonists to be focused and flexible. This new musical<br />

landscape provides opportunities for saxophonists with a vision of their own and<br />

an approach to performance that will fulfill your musical and personal goals,<br />

perhaps even more easily than in the past.<br />

The musician as magician<br />

From an audience’s perspective, a first-rate professional saxophonist can perform<br />

miracles. A breath is taken from the air and is transformed immediately into the<br />

warm and generous sound that comes from the player’s instrument. That sound<br />

represents a world of magic to the audience, who have come to a musical event<br />

to be transported into an realm of enchantment and fascination. But how can we<br />

begin the adventure that could lead us to be that player?<br />

Having a vision of what you want to achieve as a performer is essential. Stylistic<br />

and musical choices are individual to you, but the closer you get to your personal<br />

vision of what constitutes a great performance, the more authentic and enjoyable<br />

your experience will be.<br />

Here are two tips to help clarify your personal vision. They are:<br />

• How to perform – the style and sound of your ideal performance<br />

• What to perform – the music or genre that will inspire you to perform at your<br />

best.<br />

Performance vision 1 – how to perform<br />

This is very simple advice. Put yourself in the audience’s place. Try this exercise:<br />

• Close your eyes and imagine yourself<br />

in an audience, hearing and seeing<br />

yourself playing in an ideal performance ten years from now.<br />

• This ‘fantasy’ performance deeply moves and impresses you.<br />

• Don’t limit this vision in any way by relating it to your current technical or<br />

performance standard.<br />

• The point of primary resonance should feel active, soft and powerful.<br />

• Sense changes in the vibrations at the back of your head and undulation<br />

in your low abdomen in a wave-like movement as you move through the<br />

COntemporary<br />

Julian Anderson<br />

A reflection on the character of Baba the Turk, the bearded lady in Stravinsky and<br />

Auden’s opera The Rake’s Progress, this vibrant 9-minute duo exploits the ranges of both<br />

instruments to the maximum and there is much polyrhythmic dialogue between them.<br />

Although it begins in an offhand, playful manner, the piece is a lament and it is this latter<br />

character which increasingly dominates the music.<br />

0571517099 The Bearded Lady (clarinet and piano) Julian Anderson £12.99 € 16.78<br />

Malcolm Arnold<br />

Composed in 1969, the delightful Fantasy for Trumpet explores the whole range of<br />

the instrument. The 4-minute work culminates in a powerful maestoso statement of<br />

its opening melody, which accelerates into a bravura passage of double-tonguing and<br />

ascending scales.<br />

0571503225 Fantasy for Trumpet (solo tumpet) Malcolm Arnold £7.99 € 11.17<br />

George Benjamin<br />

Inspired by the sight of birds soaring and dipping over the peaks of the Swiss Alps,<br />

George Benjamin’s Flight for solo flute (1979) unfold over a clear and dramatic 8-minute<br />

span, alternating lyrical passages – characterised by keening glissandi – with spectacular<br />

virtuosic flourishes.<br />

0571505961 Flight (solo flute) George Benjamin £9.99 € 13.97<br />

Benjamin Britten<br />

Benjamin Britten’s Temporal Variations were completed on 12 December 1936. The<br />

attractive 13-minute work with its mixture of menace, slapstick humour, beauty and the<br />

grotesque displays the youthful Britten’s interest in Mahler, Bartók, Ravel and Schoenberg.<br />

0571505910 Temporal Variations (oboe and piano) Benjamin Britten £9.99 € 13.97<br />

Carl Davis<br />

Carl Davis composed this delightful 5-minute work for saxophone and piano for the 60 th<br />

birthday of leading saxophonist John Harle. Taking in waltzes and mazurkas, Charlie’s<br />

Flea Circus is presented here in two forms: the original piece for alto doubling sopranino<br />

saxophone and piano, and a more accessible version for alto saxophone<br />

and piano.<br />

Jonathan Harvey<br />

In Ricercare una melodia, an ingenious work for solo instrument and tape delay from<br />

the mid-1980s, Jonathan Harvey takes the literal meaning of Ricercare – ‘to seek’ – as the<br />

inspiration for its structure. It unfolds as two five-part canons – the first frenetic, twittering<br />

and rowdy, the second (where the canon is progressively augmented) more luminous<br />

and contemplative. A characterful and concise masterpiece from one of the visionaries of<br />

electro-acoustic music.<br />

0571522157 Ricercare una melodia (trombone) Jonathan Harvey £8.99 € 13.04<br />

Anders Hillborg<br />

Anders Hillborg’s virtuosic Tampere Raw for clarinet and piano alternates between two<br />

vividly different characters: one slowly flowing texture, composed completely intuitively,<br />

and one fast, fiercely rhythmical and pulsative texture, where the tone material for the<br />

most part is generated from permutations of prime-number series.<br />

0571539726 Tampere Raw (clarinet and piano) Anders Hillborg £14.99 € 20.09<br />

Oliver Knussen<br />

Described by its composer as ‘more concert aria than concerto’, this 13-minute work was<br />

written for the legendary Barry Tuckwell. A rich exploration of the horn’s many characters,<br />

from Mahlerian Nachtmusik to moments of clear, Mozartian brilliance, it was heralded as a<br />

‘masterpiece of lucidity’ by the Guardian.<br />

0571518249 Horn Concerto (piano score and part) Oliver Knussen £14.99 € 20.09<br />

contemporary<br />

Peter Sculthorpe<br />

Based on a traditional dance song from Saibai, an island just south of Papua New Guinea,<br />

Sculthorpe’s Songs of Sea and Sky for clarinet and piano displays the composer’s rare<br />

ability to capture and conjure, often through the simplest means, the living essence of a<br />

place. This 16-minute work unfolds in one continuous movement in six parts.<br />

0571511570 Songs of Sea and Sky (clarinet and piano) Peter Sculthorpe £7.50 € 9.81<br />

Carl Vine<br />

This dazzling 12-minute sonata from 1992 was designed to showcase both flute and piano<br />

as equal partners. The first movement uses continuous semiquavers to weave a chromatic<br />

melodic web, while the third and final movement uses the same device to create a driving<br />

rhythmic pulse. The central slow movement contrasts the flute’s sinuous melodic ability<br />

against static ringing qualities of the piano.<br />

0571514723 Sonata (flute and piano) Carl Vine £10.99 € 14.91<br />
