LOST IN
TRANSLATION?
Translation: "interpretation or an explanation"
or "removal or conveyance from one condition to
another".
An adaptation of a musical piece for
performance on another combination of instruments
is referred to as a transcription. Is such a
transcription a work of art?
Sciarrino describes his
'elaboration', Pagine, as a translation for
the saxophone quartet. The piece contains a number of
excerpts from the Western tradition of notated music that
have been adapted for saxophone quartet.
Krzysztof Penderecki's Quartett for clarinet and string
trio and Henri Pousseur's Vue Sur Les Jardins Interdits,
are also works that have had a previous existence before
their present incarnations for the saxophone
quartet.
Plagiarism or translation? You be the
judge.
Continuum Sax is Margery Smith, James
Nightingale, Martin Kay and Jarrod Whitbourn.
