Arrangement for Saxophone Trio by Kateřina Pavlíková.

This arrangement of Darius Milhaud’s Suite d’après Corrette for saxophone trio brings the elegance of French neoclassicism together with the clarity and color of the saxophone family. Based on themes by the Baroque composer Michel Corrette, Milhaud’s suite blends historical dance character with modern harmony and rhythmic vitality.

The sax trio version preserves the transparency of the original textures while making full use of the lyrical and expressive possibilities of the saxophone. Each part is idiomatic, well-balanced, and rewarding to play, offering both melodic interest and supportive harmonic roles.

Suitable for advanced students, conservatory ensembles, and professional performers, this piece works beautifully in both concert and educational settings. It is an excellent choice for introducing 20th-century French repertoire in a chamber music context, combining stylistic elegance with fresh, colorful sound.
