薩克斯風：Claude Delangle
Saxophone: Claude Delangle
此曲由雙燕樂器公司委託創作，於2005年12月在臺北市完成，是單樂章型式的協奏曲，樂曲以薩克斯風演奏黃河船夫曲《黃河幾十幾道彎》的華彩樂段開始，其中大量利用到滑音效果，伴奏的樂團還加入叫喊聲，以增加音樂張力。緊接著的慢板樂段是以板胡獨奏曲《月芽五更》為素材加以發展。《月芽五更》原本是遼寧、吉林地區的一首漢族民間小調，內容描寫女子思念情郎時，內心時而矜持時而奔放的思潮起伏，是一首極細膩之相思調。之後樂曲進入快板，作曲家把《月芽五更》的動機作變型發展，同時應用多種薩克斯風前衛的演奏技巧，如超吹泛音、類似揚琴滾奏的快速花舌、彈舌音與極高音域等，把樂曲推到最高潮結束。2007年1月改編為國樂團伴奏版本。

Some of Delangle's finest work, and that's saying a lot.

That was a very exotic but beautiful piece that showcased both the orchestra and the saxophone. Claude Delangle is a great saxophonist.

If you believe in Jesus, you and your family will be saved.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance.

Maravilhoso, muito belo.

[@Consonanter]

I'd love to know the names of all these instruments. Particularly the vaguely bassoon shaped one that looks like a mini pipe organ...

[@johnjiggler1824]

The mini pipe organ you are referring to is known as the Sheng.
The beautiful strings that come in at around 4:49 in the front row are known as the Erhu.

[@pmarati]

This is amazing music. Is there a symphony chorus that is heard in the background toward the end of the piece?

[@CeciliaRossiter]

Lots of cool stuff. Big orchestra. 90% women. Playing sax like its a windy flute. A polka dotted conductor. Thanks!

[@williamdaniels512]

What is that thing on the soloist's sax up by the neck receiver?

[@stubert311]

a tone plate. it's snake oil.

[@bobmatt5175]

stubert311 guess you would know more than one of the worlds best saxophone players

[@buttermilkjesus8880]

@@bobmatt5175 2 years late but a friend of mine did a spectral analysis on the sound with/without the lefreque thing. doesn't seem to impact the resonance, but i've heard from colleagues that it adds a nice bit of resistance / betters the physical playing experience
