Gary Keller performed the original Villa Lobos Fantasia for Soprano Saxophone and Chamber Orchestra with the UM Frost Symphony on April 18th, 2009.  This was in all likelyhood the first orchestral performance of the piece exactly as written by Villa Lobos, in the original key (one step higher than the published version).  I would like to thank Dale Underwood for his research into this piece and for loaning me his copy of the original score and parts, and Thom Sleeper and the Frost Symphony Orchestra for the opportunity to debut the orginal version with orchestra.
