1	Total Praise: An Analysis and Performance Guide of "Come As You Are" (2020) by Steven Banks Allen II, Ricardo John 07 1900 (has links) Music written by Black composers has often been overlooked in the classical saxophone community regarding study and performance. One piece that is inspired directly by Black culture is Steven Banks' Come As You Are (2020). In this composition, Banks incorporates material directly from classic Negro spirituals and Gospel church hymns. The purpose of this document is to assist in educating classical saxophone pedagogues and performers about a work from an underrepresented composer who is clearly meritorious and whose work is worthy of being added to what might be considered by many as the standard repertoire for the saxophone. Included in this document is a performance guide of Come As You Are, as well as an oral history provided by the composer, Steven Banks. rico allen saxophone steven banks come as you are tenor saxophone gospel ricardo allen Music Musical Performances Education, Music
