Product Details


Product Description

Scored for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone saxophones, these colourful portraits are loosely inspired, both in terms of mood and technique, by three Picasso paintings. The clear-cut jazz rhythms of Harlequin give way to the intense inner tragedy of Weeping Woman, which is followed by The Three Dancers, superficially light-hearted but with a hidden desperation beneath. 

The download contains a full score and a set of parts.

Three Picasso Portraits were commissioned by the Saxology Saxophone Quartet and were first performed St Martin's in the Fields, London, in June 1992. 

A recording is available by Saxology on the CD 'English Quartets', Meridian CDE 84376, and the sheet music is published by Colne Edition, www.colneedition.co.uk
