Phyllis Tate - Concerto for Alto Saxophone
for Solo alto saxophone & string orchestra This commission from the BBC in 1944 was the first to have been acknowledged by Tate herself, who was extremely self-critical of her own work and destroyed most of her pre-war compositions. Known for her use of unusual combinations of instruments, the Concerto for Saxophone and String Orchestra makes use of attractive harmonies and textures whilst displaying an unusual modification of sonata form, and sensitive, lyrical writing for the saxophone, little recognised at the time as a solo instrument. 9780193677319
