"Concert for two organs and eight saxophones" Automatic translate

Saturday 9 July

The new, in fact, often turns out to be the well-forgotten old. We admire the achievements of modern technology, not imagining that something similar (and even brighter and more interesting!) Already existed. So, even a hundred years before Vivaldi, arranged on opposite sides of St. Mark’s Cathedral (usually in the shape of a cross), the musicians alternated their cues, creating a feeling for the listener that is considered to be considered today

stereo effect. Then it was called - an antiphone. We want to watch how delightfully two bodies (large and small) begin to talk - scattered in time (question-answer structure) and in space (above and below - opposite each other). And also try to apply this ancient technique for two saxophone quartets. Yesterday and today. We will compare.
