Dear Saxophonists: After ten years of research and revision, my monograph entitled "Debussy's [I]Rapsodie pour orchestre et saxophone[/I] Revisited" is now published in [I]The Musical Quarterly[/I]. View it for free by going to: website, then click "research" and "Rapsodie link." or, find it in the recently issued hard copy. This is the complete history of [I]Rapsodie[/I] all in one place. Be on the lookout this fall for a condensed timeline of [I]Rapsodie[/I] events in [I]Saxophone Journal[/I] as well. You can also download a free copy of my dissertation on Edward Lefebre at my website. Enjoy! Sincerely, James Noyes Manhattan School of Music, Precollege Division, New York, NY William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ Music at Our Saviour's Atonement, New York, NY

Congratulations, James! I look forward to reading your work.

James, What a fascinating article! And one of the best written articles on saxophone repertoire I've read in years. Congratulations on doing such thorough research, too! I especially liked the discussion of the orchestration and how the Golden Mean applies to the work - completely new to me! Steve

I had the privilege of reading the Debussy document sometime ago and it is absolutely first-rate. The Lefebre dissertation is also highly recommended.
