Erik Steighner, alto saxophone
Angela Drăghicescu, piano

On King FM’s Northwest Focus LIVE with Sean MacLean http://www.king.org/category/nwfocusl..., alto saxophonist Erik Steighner http://eriksteighner.com/ was joined by pianist Angela Drăghicescu https://resonance.events/performer/an...
for the third and final movement “Brazileira” from Scaramouche, Op. 165b, written in 1939 by Darius Milhaud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_...

Scaramouche became something of a bête noire for the composer, who judged it too slight to merit publication — a familiar a story in the history of music!
The publishers loved it, and amid his own resentful grumblings, Milhaud kept providing new arrangments for them. The versions for clarinet and saxophone are best known, but you’ll find concert band, wind sextet, chamber trio, triple guitars, and even 16-saxophone arrangements. This "Brazileira" was made into a pop song with lyrics.
