The composer calls his saxophone project Sax Pax, underlining that in this case the saxophones are not to be linked with military bands for which the instruments originally had been intended, but are used exclusively for peaceful purposes.

TO A. SAX In Sax's name I'd like to know just what Rollini, Parker, Young and mo'e musicians would have done if there had never been a saxophone to blow. I keep on writing for sopranos, altos, tenors, baritones and bass but not for sopraninos, for they're too-too out of tune to have a place. As much as I would like to use the contra bass, the bass is in the way, condemning me for wanting to allow the lowest of the low to play. |
I'd like to use them both together, but the bass would argue, "Either or, and if you could accept my good advice, the contra bass you should ignore." 'C melody' would be the only sax I heard at first, and it was played by Bessy Heiner at a dance in Old Wyoming, when I should have stayed. Louis Hardin |

Shakespeare city, we're in love with you, all because you took his name. Who but you enshrined his last remains, for all the globe to honour. The name you bear is there for all to see. As you like it, so does he. We're to hear Hamlet at the rose, to be or not to be. |
