Jules Demersseman was born on January 9, 1833 in Hondschoote, a small town in the north of France
now near the border of Belgium. He entered the Paris Conservatory in 1844 in the class of Jean-Louis
Tulou and won a first prize in flute in 1845. Demersseman had a career as a pedogogue and soloist, often
performing his own compositions. A close friend of Adolphe Sax, he wrote some of the first works ever
written for the saxophone, as well as for the saxhorn and for Sax‘s valved trombone, most of which were
published by Sax himself.. Demersseman died in Paris on December 1, 1866 at the age of 33.
The Premier solo was performed for the exams at Adolphe Sax's saxophone class at the Paris Conservatory
in 1865.
The work is in the form of a Cavatina and Cabaletta, a vocal aria form used in Bel Canto operas during the
life of Demersseman. In this form, a slow, expressive and ornamented melody (the cavatina), usually with
solo cadenzas is followed by a faster, usually more dramatic but equally florid section (the cabaletta). Famous
examples of this form include the aria Una voce poco fa in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia and Casta diva ...
Ah! bello a me ritorno in Bellini‘s, Norma. It is important to listen to vocal performances in this style, especially
in performing the solo cadenzas, which (in spite of the notation) are not necessarily meant to be performed as
virtuoso effects., but rather as a means of displaying expression and beautiful tone.

The work is in a pastorale style, which is uses elements of French folk music.
