Andrea P\u00e9rez Muksi conducted the premiere, which featured jazz saxophonist Daniel Ju\u00e1rez and electric guitarist Nat Condit-Schultz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tenor sax melody at the beginning is from my art song composition, <em>Nightingale<\/em> (2011). In 2013, I decided to create an instrumental jazz version, which I titled <em>Noir <\/em>referencing the dark and mysterious atmosphere throughout. The chamber jazz version was premiered at the 2013 Rochester Fringe Festival, and the 2014 big band version was the winner of the Seattle Women&#8217;s Jazz Orchestra Contest and performed at the Ear Shot Festival featuring alto saxophonist Grace Kelly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this new version, the piece has been extended to feature both the sax and electric guitar, along with giving the orchestra a more prominent role in various sections. Furthermore, I grew up listening to a lot of progressive rock, and wanted to incorporate more of that stylistic influence into this new composition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noir (2023) for tenor saxophone, electric guitar, and orchestra Duration: 9&#8242; Tenor Saxophone with improvisation and Electric Guitar with improvisation Orchestra Instrumentation: 1 Piccolo &#8211; 1 Flute &#8211; 1 Oboe &#8211; 2 Clarinets in Bb &#8211; 1 Bassoon &#8211; 2 Horns in F &#8211; 2 Trumpets in Bb &#8211; 1 Trombone &#8211; 1 Percussion (Tubular &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/?page_id=9925\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Noir (2023) &#8211; orchestra feat. tenor sax and electric guitar&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9925"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9925"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10042,"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9925\/revisions\/10042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jenniferbellor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
