Hi all,

For my graduate studies, I am researching Tenor Saxophone repertoire. Eventually, I am hoping to compile a huge list of works for the instrument. I would like it to extend a bit beyond the standard tenor repoertoire, so I turn to you to ask if anyone has any information regarding new/recent works for the tenor saxophone. I am looking to include many different kinds of works - sonatas, suites, concerti, chamber and electronic pieces, etc. The works can be published, or unpublished. I am very interested in tenor saxophone literature, and I'm curious about what's out there.

Thank you, I appreciate your help!

Take a close look at "Fingers" by Geert van Keulen. It was written for Arno Bornkamp and exists in a concerto version and a version for Tenor and Piano. It is no longer "new" having been written ca. 1991, but IMHO it is one of the better works for Tenor that has come along in the past 20 years or so.
