Inspired by Damien Royannais and Arno Bornkamp, I did the transcription of Fauré's Élégie, originally for cello, to play on the baritone saxophone. "The Élégie, cast in the somber key of c minor, begins with a mournful cello melody, paced by a solemn procession of chords in the piano. The theme’s melodic contour traces a slow descent, as if insisting on its own dignity as it approaches its nadir. A contrasting middle section modulates to A-flat major, but the music retains its melancholia, as if offering a tearful remembrance of better times. A sudden anguished eruption heralds the return of the opening melody, transformed now from a somber dirge to a piercing cry. The piano spins a flurry of thirty-second-note triplets; the cello proclaims the theme in its keening upper register, fortissimo con grandezza. Fauré completed the Élégie in the same month as his First Piano Quartet, also in c minor. The Élégie was projected to be the slow movement of a multimovement cello sonata. It was first heard at a salon hosted by Camille Saint-Saëns. Fauré wrote to his publisher, Julien Hamelle: “I was very sorry you could not be at Saint-Saëns’s on Monday. My cello piece was excellently received, which greatly encourages me to go on and do the whole sonata.” The Élégie received its public premiere in December 1883, at the Société Nationale, featuring the cellist (and the work’s dedicatee) Jules Loëb." from Program Notes by Patrick Castillo Program: Roger Boutry - Divertimento Barry Cockcroft - Ku Ku John Anthony Lennon - Distances Within Me JacobTV - Garden of Love Fauré - Élégie, Op. 24 Henri Tomasi - Saxophone Concerto
