		<description><![CDATA[Quintet for Alto Saxophone and String Quartet (2006) features three movements of wildly different character, all influenced by quite different kinds of music. The first movement, “Bright and exuberant,” is simultaneously heroic and breezy. Undulating near-minimalist figures in the strings accompany overarching melodies played by the saxophone. The B section within this A-B-A’ form is more languid, while the outer A sections contain music that is buoyant and striving.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my family visited Korea in the summer of 2004, I heard the melody Arirang many times. The beautiful and haunting tune is sung to a departing loved one. For the Korean people, it has further significance and deep resonance, evoking sadness, wistfulness, pride in and longing for home. The melody was already familiar to me from having attended Korean Culture School with my daughter Rosalie, whom my wife and I adopted as an infant from Korea in 1996.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Le Petit Duo was composed between September 29 and October 3, 2001 and fairly extensively rewritten in July and August of 2002. The impetus for its composition came from Kenneth Tse, who point out to the composer the dearth of works for clarinet and alto saxophone. The Duo is petite only in length, comprising three brief movements, and not in facility, making demands on two very talented musicians.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Concerto Agrariana is the second work by composer John Cheetham written especially for saxophonist Kenneth Tse. The first, Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano, was written in 2001 and premiered by Dr. Tse at the NASA Biennial Conference at the University of North Texas in 2002. Dr. Tse has subsequently recorded the work on Crystal Label. Concerto Agrariana pays tribute to the rugged determination and inherent resourcefulness of the pioneers who settled the rural Midwest during the early 19th century. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the page and to the ear Cheetham’s saxophone sonata communicates his no-nonsense directness, a neo-classic transparency of texture, and an interplay between the two instruments that respects the chamber music ideal. The lively opening movement at times suggests a slightly grotesque march—playful and even fragile—with its persistent rhythms, irregular phrases, metric interruptions, and modular repetitions]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sonata for Baritone Saxophone and Piano was begun on February 18, 2008 and completed on the following April 7th. It is the third of a projected four sonatas written for saxophonist, Kenneth Tse, one for each of the four major saxophones. The work comprises three movements, each set to a tempo marking of 76 beats per minute. However, the mood of each movement is quite different from the other two. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sonata for Soprano Saxophone and Piano was begun on October 23, 2006 and completed on February 21, 2007. However, during this period of time, about a week was devoted to actual writing of the work, as other projects intervened. The composer has inserted two brief references to well-known works associated with academia, the Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 by Sir Edward Elgar and the German student song Gaudeamus Igitur. Canfield has also personalized the work for Dr. Tse by the ending sonorities of the three movements: (U)T(=C), Es &#038; E.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the relatively late invention of the saxophone, it is not surprising that there are few original works for the instrument written in a true romantic style, and even fewer concertos. The first germ of the idea for the present work came to me in 1994 when I was asked to arrange Reinhold Glière’s Intermezzo and Tarantella (originally composed for double bass and piano) for double bass and orchestra.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent years, the term martyr has been corrupted from its original meaning which was "one who would give up his life at the hands of others, rather than reject his faith." More recently, the term has been broadened to include those who would, in the name of religion, destroy themselves and others for some perceived cause. The composer of the present work has been greatly bothered by this corruption of the word's original meaning, and the present work is, in part, his attempt to bring attention back to the term in its original sense.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano (2000) was conceived for a festival of Canfield’s music at the University of Central Oklahoma, where its premiere was given on 19 February 2001 by Kenneth Tse.  The composer submitted the movements to the saxophonist as each was completed and took note of his responses.  Embedded in the work with special subtlety and as a surprise to Tse is his favorite hymn tune, William M. Runyan’s “Faithfulness” (1923), perhaps better known by the first line of its text “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”  The unpretentious, but earnest sacred piece holds special meaning for Canfield as well.  In the third movement the tune appears in the saxophone line in truncated or otherwise altered forms; in the final movement references to it are heard in the keyboard part.  ]]></description>
