Really beautiful, tuneful and accessible piece! Great sax playing.

Wow, so lovely! Mr Bedard has a certain magic when it comes to creating a melody, and then the lush harmonies...

Thanks! Yes much of Bedard's music has really beautiful melody and inventive use of common chords. Always satisfying to play.

Beautiful! A really nice piece which I had not heard.

Way to go professor, this is so beautiful!!!

Great piece! Full of playfulness and lyricism. I really enjoyed your performance and what a beautiful saxophone too!

Beautifully done. Lovely tone on the sax.

Sounds great!!

Bellissima esecuzione, complimenti!

Good work,

Wonderful playing! Where can I find this sheet music?

All the scores of Denis Bédard are available here: members.shaw.ca/cheldar/ N.B. There is also a version by me of this on KZread.

nice, really not much known music! I d liek to play it ion Germany and spread it!

Sounds Wonderful. Would you use side C and one and one fingering for the A# measure 118???

Sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks for listening. In m. 118 I use side C and "one and two", or 1 and 5, for the A#. however the truth is it rarely comes out exactly as written. I find as long as you get the correct notes to sound getting the exact number and order as printed is not as important (and is very difficult). James

I've been shedding this piece for the last few weeks, and I just figured out that you can use this: B - Side C - Bis Bb with LH middle finger - Side C. It flies!!

Where can I purchase the music?

Eddie, Sorry for the delay in responding. You may have noticed that the saxophone and organ sonata by Bedard is available at members.shaw.ca/cheldar/. His saxophone and piano sonata is available through Doberman, www.productionsdoz.com. Other works are scattered around the internet, including on Amazon. Hope that helps.

Hello, I was wondering if there is an updated link for the version for Organ and Saxophone. This one seems to have expired.

​@@dkbayless All of Bedard's music is listed on the Editions Cheldar website. The catalogue that includes this sonata is here: www.cheldar.com/CheldarEnglish/EngCatOrgInst.htm To order from the site requires a rather old-fashioned process. You need to e-mail them (cheldar@cheldar.com) and list which pieces you want. Then you can pay by cheque, or leave your credit card number with them over the phone (they will explain payment to you). Denis Bedard and Rachel Alflatt, who is Bedard's wife, run the business themselves. I used this process to order a bunch of Bedard's works for solo organ.

All of his solo organ music is superb, too!!

Why do you folks who post your music on YOU TUBE never answer those of us who ask where we can purchase your sheet music? Do you NOT wish for it to remain in the ears of the public past your time on Earth?
