A Conductor’s and Performer’s Guide to Steven Bryant’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone - Chester Jenkins

25 Figure 11. Concerto for Alto Saxophone 1 st movement, measures 116-119. Creston motive used to build chord through staggered entrances. Also interesting at this point of the work is Bryant’s inclusion of the Solace chord progression that plays a prominent role in the second movement. (This chord progression will be discussed more thoroughly in Chapter 4.) From measure 116 to 119, the brass builds a chord built from the Creston motive on D-C-A-A#-C#. In measure 120, the trumpet 1 and euphonium part play an F, providing the fifth for a B minor chord hidden
