Prelude and Fugue After Bach uses as its source the first prelude and fugue from Book One of the Well-tempered Klavier of J. S. Bach. I have attempted to direct the listener to a fresh approach to this well-known masterpiece of the baroque period. The original version of this piece (for Horn and Piano) was commissioned by the Canadian Music Competitions through a grant from the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council. This version for Alto Saxophone and Piano is dedicated to David Janzen. |
