Habanera (1927) by Jean Cras (1879-1932) arranged for Any Saxophone Solo with Piano. Habanera — a genre of popular 19th century Cuban dance music with a characteristic set of rhythms. It made its way into classical music though French composers such as Bizet and Ravel and is found throughout popular 20th century music including ragtime and jazz. This Habanera was composed by French composer and Naval officer, Jean Cras, as a 9th birthday gift for his son who was an aspiring violin player. The Caribbean rhythms and the impressionistic harmonies give the piece great audience appeal.
This arrangement of Habanera is for Any Saxophone Solo with Piano. It includes solo saxophone parts for both E-flat and B-flat saxophones as well as the piano score. Although not technically difficult on violin, the piece covers a wide range on saxophone. It is an excellent piece for advancing intermediate students to show off their intonation and interpretive skills. It’s also a beautiful little piece they’ll enjoy playing.
