Dance of Uzume is a concertino that is based on a Japanese Myth. Out of anger toward her brother Susanowa(the storm god),Amaterasu (the sun goddess) hides in a cave. The goddess of joy,Uzume,succeeds in luring the sun goddess out of the cave by dancing wildly.The joy and laughter from the other gods as they watch Uzume arouses Amaterasu's curiosity and with her appearance, the light on Earth returns. This fantastic new original work will provide a much needed addition to the advanced repertoire for saxophone and piano. It also comes with a demo CD played by the famous Japanese saxophonist Nobuya Sugawa showing you exactly how it should be performed.
On the CD, Nobuya Sugawa plays the pieces first. The piano accompaniment, played on a grand piano, follows. However, playing together with a live pianist - where musical interaction develops - is of course even more enlightening.
The CD features the original version of the concerto,for Alto Saxophone and Concert Band.
