Thérèse Brenet : A Thing of Beauty Is A Joy Forever" for alto saxophone and organ by Therese Brenet Woodwind Duet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.532885

This work was inspired by the poem of the same name by Keats. It was written originally for saxophone and organ by its comissioner the saxophonist Paul Wehage and Françoise Lvéchin-Gangloff, the organist at the Church of Sain Roch in Paris where the work was premièred on February 12, 2012 It also exists in a version for saxophone and piano and for saxophone and string orchestra (with harp). The orchestral version was recorded on Thérèse Brenet's CD "Le Livre de L'Harmonie du Monde" on JTB-Prod (https://www.jtbprod.com/llhm.htm ) The work is not a literal illustration of the poem, but an evocation of emotional states between a Romantic literary work and the music which the writing inspired more than a century and a half later, seen through a Modern musical aesthetic.
