Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Composer Joseph Kreines (b. 1936) has written several works for the classical saxophone. Among these are three works specifically for the alto saxophone: Suite “Alla Barocco” for Alto Saxophone (2004), Monologue 3 for Alto Saxophone (2005), and Cantilena and Toccata for Alto Saxophone (2006). These three compositions portray common traits and represent Kreines’ unique compositional style. Aside from discussing Kreines’ musical background, this document explores these three works for alto saxophone from a historical perspective and includes a formal analysis and performance considerations for all movements of each composition.
