Performance Notes

The ‘Wa Wa’ effect on page fi ve is achieved by alternating between the two given fi ngerings. The rhythm must be kept constant to provide a contrast with the changing articulations.

Multiphonic with suggested fi ngerings.

Page four is a simulation of a drum solo. By beating various keys on the saxophone, drum-like sounds can be produced. For example, beating low Bb will simulate a bass drum, while hitting the F key will produce a snare-like sound. Follow the suggested fi ngerings to produce the different drum sounds. The keys need to be hit loudly in this section so that the ‘drums’ can be heard. To increase resonance, close off the end of the mouthpiece and the reed with the tongue.
