VALERIO, Javier. Benjamín gutiérrez: pioneer of the production and development of saxophone and its classic repertoire in Costa Rica. Káñina [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.1, pp.161-173. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v41i1.29057.

Benjamin Gutierrez’s Rhapsody for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra represents a revolutionary moment for Costa Rican saxophone history. Costa Rica art composers have written an important classical repertoire in the late 20th century, thus contributing to the development of saxophone music in general. However, their compositions are little known outside of their inner circles due to the lack of music editions. Through a series of interviews and analyses this article portrays how Gutiérrez and Calderon’s collaboration changed the way musical elitists view the saxophone.

There is definitely more work to be done for the classical saxophone in Costa Rica since there is still a lack of publications and recordings of these compositions. In addition, more professional development of saxophonists and culturally responsive saxophone pedagogy are essential to ensure efficient information about the continuous emergence and development of classical saxophone repertoire in Costa Rica.
