This is a PDF version of the ALTO SAXOPHONE version of As the Willow Tree Grows, which was composed in 2022 for trombonist Jeremy Wilson. In composing this piece, I wanted to capture some of my favorite elements of Jeremy's playing--his lyrical upper register and the compassion in the way he phrases a musical line. In addition, I wanted to evoke a more tender, singing lyricism from the trombone, while staying true to the jazz rhythm and harmonic structures that inspire me as a composer and musician.”
This arrangement for alto saxophone captures same values of the piece in a different light. Thank you to Dr. Kendra Wheeler (Louisiana State University) for her
As the Willow Tree Grows can be heard on Jeremy Wilson’s CD Aurora.
