Anthem and Jubilation ‘Deep River’
Traditional Gospel Tune
arr. Lewis Liddell, Sr.
This attention-grabbing setting of the traditional gospel tune ‘Deep River’ for mixed woodwinds and drum set, features the alto sax as a solo instrument. The introduction is a slow melodic, and handsomely harmonious reading of the tune. This in turn leads to the body of the work which is spirited and full of life.

Sonata No.3
by Georg Frederic Handel
trans. Jamie Wehr
This Sonata No.3 was transcribed by request of Dr. Cynthia Fraser, soloist, and Mr. James Coe, Director of Music at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Oviedo, Florida. It has received its premiere March 29th, 2009. Obviously not originally for the alto saxophone, but this piece displays all the beauty and virtuosity that a the instrument can convey. Written in the typical four movement style of his time; Handel begins the sonata with lovely and rather laconic slow movement, then moves to a sprightly and virtuosic second movement. The third movement is again slow and sanguine, while the fourth and last movement is a most enjoyable jig. Set for chamber orchestra, [standard string section w/ 2 flutes, oboe, Bb clarinet, and 2 bassoons].
