Saxpack by Otto M. Schwarz is a modern concert work for wind orchestra with solo saxophone, composed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Vienna Police Band. Dedicated to the renowned Austrian saxophonist Gert Kolaja, a member of the orchestra, the work combines gripping programmatic music with innovative saxophone techniques. Saxpack transports the audience to a musically staged crime scene with chases and a nighttime Viennese atmosphere. The contemporary-style composition includes opportunities for improvisation and alternations between alto and soprano saxophone. The work offers an ideal platform for soloists and is a convincing performance in both competitions and modern concert programs. A true highlight for saxophonists, wind orchestras, and music lovers seeking exceptional, dramatically exciting literature.
