New alto sax with piano piece:
Gavambodi 2
For Alto Sax and Piano
By Jacques Charpentier
Current price $22.95
”Written
by Jacques Charpentier for Alto Saxophone and Piano, Gavambodi 2 is a piece
lasting 9 minutes, dedicated to Georges Gourdet. Ideal for advanced players, it
features the Carnatic mode (n43) and is a great work to play for a recital. We
can distinguish three parts in this piece: a slow beginning, starting with the
Saxophone solo, which quickly develops into a faster chromatic section, which
is much more technical. The Finale is reminiscent of the beginning, ending with
two very slow measures. Widely influenced by his travel, especially India, this
music is also reminiscent of the techniques used by his teachers, such as
Olivier Messiaen. Jacques Charpentier (b. 1933) is a French musician who lived
in India and wrote numerous pieces from Piano and Organ music, to Chamber,
stage and orchestra works among others.
“Gavambodi 2” by Jacques Charpentier, for Alto Saxophone and piano; published by Alphonse Leduc, Paris. Grade 5-6 based on 1=beginner to 6=advanced. New unplayed. Current publisher price $22.95.
NOTE: CHANGES IN SHIPPING METHODS:
If
you want to purchase more than one item, we combine shipping. Ebay used to have
a “request an invoice” button but I think they removed it. Try alternating
shipping or the “local pick up” buttons so it does not add a shipping charge
for each item. Whatever you do, any excess shipping
will be refunded when we ship your item because the shipping cost is based on
the weight of the items, not the number of them. If you to know what the
combined shipping would be, you can send a message with the names & item
numbers of the ones you want and we will pull them and weigh them, then let you
know what the combined shipping will be. But you run the risk of someone else
buying the music as most of our items are one only. And as a final method of
ordering without paying the individual shipping costs purchasing, you can buy
all of them with “local pickup” checked, and request us to send you a “Special
item” that has the total combined shipping as the cost of the item.
Any shipping costs paid that are not
needed will be refunded to you once we have your item ready to ship.
We are a non-smoking household. There
may be cat hair on items, but we do our best to remove it before shipping. If
you are violently allergic to cat hair, you should not purchase this item. Cat,
if pictured, not included.
If you need an item quickly, please
email us and let us know, we will try to ship it as soon as possible. No
guarantees, but we will try.
Items will be sent insured and the cost
will be included in the shipping charges. Expensive and large items will
require a signature at delivery (to protect your package from getting “lost”)
We only charge shipping costs. Occasionally we have to get specific shipping
materials, new boxes (I try to recycle any boxes we have), cutting cardboard
costs or have a friend take packages to the shipping office (I am slightly
disabled and sometimes need help), someone to cut cardboard inserts and those
might be the only needed included expenses that I can think of. Any funds paid that are not needed will be
refunded to you once we have your item ready to ship.
The
shipping costs stated is for media mail. No matter what ebay says, it could
take up to 30 days for you to receive your item. The farther away from Southern
California you are, the longer it may take for your item to arrive. If you need
it quickly, please let us know and we can quote you the shipping costs for
first class, priority or overnight delivery costs.
We always combine shipping to save you
money.
If there is any problem, please contact
us before contacting ebay. We can fix any problem easier if the “Corporate
Ebay” is not involved.
Email us if you have any questions.
Items are not returnable.
We are a non-smoking home. No returns.
