French saxophonist Pierre-Stephane Meuge presentsMonodies, a fascinating musical journey through a century of monologues in different styles, punctuated by the universal reference to JS Bach and played on different saxophones. We hear arrangements of groundbreaking flute works such as Density 21.5 by Varese and Syrinx by Debussy (the fingerings of saxophone and flute are remarkably similar) as well as two Messiaen rarities: the Monody in quarter tones for Ondes Martenot and the Monody for organ. There is a sonata by John Cage and the Three Pieces for solo clarinet by Stravinsky, as well as two works by Paul Mefano, a composer who has long wished Meuge to record his music. The 25 Caprices by Sigfrid Karg-Elert allude to baroque models, as do the Bach pieces that run through the entire program, as well as Tom Johnson’s “Tilework”, which, like Bach, conveys the impression of polyphony on a single instrument.
