Arranged by Catherine Quinlan. Broadway,Film/TV,Musical/Show,Pop. 13 pages. Catherine Quinlan #781943. Published by Catherine Quinlan (A0.1182178). Taking us to Rydell High and that iconic summer with Danny and Sandy, here is a saxophone quartet version of Summer Nights. Driven from the start by the baritone sax bass line, the vocal lines are taken by the alto and soprano with the tenor joining for the chorus. My sax quartet really enjoys playing this and it has gone down very well with audiences.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1313145 By Hugh Levey. By Gustav Holst. Arranged by Hugh Levey. 20th Century,Advent,Chamber,Christmas,Religious. 15 pages. Woodwindly.com #901978. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1313145). Saxophone Quartet (SATB or AATB)In the Bleak Mid-Winter is a popular Christmas Carol which has been set to music by both Gustav Holst and Harold Darke. This sax quartet arrangement is based on the Holst version and combines the composer's beautifully simple harmony with the arranger's own counter-melodies and intricate wind writing. Lovely writing for all instruments. An ideal work for Christmas concert programming.This is a through-composed instrumental arrangement that explores the melody and harmonies of the Holst hymn in 3 differently arranged verses. After a short introduction the first verse uses Holst’s original 4-part harmonisation in its beautiful simplicity, with soprano saxophone playing the melodic line. In verse 2, the tenor sax presents the tune in a lower register while the baritone plays a Baroque style ‘walking bass’. The sopranoe and alto weave countermelodies above them, introducing new material for a Pachelbel-like interlude of an ascending sequence - bringing the music to a climax before subsiding into verse 3. Here a slightly ornamented version of the tune returns with the new material continuing in the bass line. After another smaller climax we return to the original Holst as the work ends quietly and thoughtfully.

C. Glass. Contemporary. 22 pages. James A. C. Glass #6246925. Published by James A. C. Glass (A0.946257). All arrangements are in the same key as the original composition. Arranged for SATB Saxophone Quartet. Runtime 4:08.Multiple 16th note licks will keep the player's tongue moving in this funk piece. The baritone saxophone party stays in the low register, carrying the bass line. The tenor saxophone switches between doubling the bass line an octave higher, providing solo licks, and filling in the harmony with the other horn parts. The alto saxophone carries much of the melody the soprano saxophone taking over during the chorus.

Arranged by Jeff Tincher. Contemporary,Pop. 27 pages. Jeff Tincher #804278. Published by Jeff Tincher (A0.1206083). Here is Gino Vannelli's first big hit. This song is best played live. So this arrangement is in the original key from his Live In L.A. project. He still does this song in concert. This song is also unique because it was the first song that used a moog bass for the bass line. Duration = 3:44.

Chloe Cardin-Stewart #5998933. Published by Chloe Cardin-Stewart (A0.945516). A fresh and interesting arrangement of Ed Sheeran's Perfect for saxophone quartet.

The piece begins with a delicate duet between the alto and tenor saxophone before they are joined by the soprano and baritone; providing a harmony and bass. The 2nd verse has a playful countermelody provided by the soprano and tenor saxophones whilst the alto takes the melody. The builds for one final chorus before settling into a calm ending.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1195850 By The Tokens. By Calvin Carter and James Hudson. Arranged by Kevin Hall. Barbershop,Hip-Hop,Pop,R & B,Rock,Standards. 8 pages. Eine kleine Saxmusik #795015. Published by Eine kleine Saxmusik (A0.1195850). One of the most recognizable Doo-Wop songs from the mid-50s, your audience will be singing along as you end your set or gig with this old classic. As soon as people hear the signature bass line played on the bari that starts the song, they'll start tapping their toes and coming over to hear the group perform. This arrangement includes an alternate soprano part for the lead, and an alternate bass sax part for the bari to be able to fit almost any sax quartet configuration. Enjoy!(Copyrighted pieces apparently have some diff. policies from original/public domain:I apologize for the minimum price--it's set by ArrangeMe. Contact me at kevinqhall at netscape dot net, and I'll be happy to give you credit toward another piece.Also, the sample cuts off at 30 secs. I loaded the whole song. If you'd like to hear more of the sample, email me (at the address above), and I'll be happy to send you the sound sample.In addition, I'm unable to edit the title or performer. My preferences (the original title/performer!!) would be:Title: Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite (Goodnight, It's Time To Go) - arr. for Sax Quartet A(S)ATB(Bs)Original Performer: The Spaniels).

Arranged by Benjamin Karaca. Baroque,Chamber,Christian,Classical,Multicultural,World. 11 pages. Benjamin Karaca #6342517. Published by Benjamin Karaca (A0.946354). This piece is also known as Air on the G String. It is the second movement from Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 and is one of Bach's most famous compositions. Originally composed for two violins, viola, and basso continuo.I originally wrote this arrangement for a Saxophone Quartet in the classical SATB lineup (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone Sax). However, the second part also works well for Soprano Sax, and the third part can be played by an Alto Saxophone. Apart from a few minor changes, I stayed very true to the original composition. I haven't added any articulations and have retained the key of D major.Note: Having two Sopranos in a Sax Quartet is highly unusual. If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend giving it a try. Especially in the SSAB lineup, this piece has a lot of potential.Saxophone Quartet SATB (and other lineups). Duration: 5:00 min. Level: 2/5.Part 1: Soprano SaxPart 2: Soprano Sax / Alto SaxPart 3: Alto Sax / Tenor SaxPart 4: Baritone Sax / Bass SaxScore in CA high-quality arrangement by a professional musician.

Jimmy Giuffre composed Four Brothers for Woody Herman's Second Herd. This band was famous for its saxophone section, which featured the unusual lineup of three Tenor Saxophones and one Baritone Saxophone (TTTB). This saxophone quartet arrangement is often referred to as the Four Brothers†lineup. Four Brothers (the piece) is now a jazz standard and a showcase piece for any saxophone section.This version is a transcription (or leadsheet) of the main theme. The key matches the original. In addition to the original TTTB lineup, I've added as many additional parts as possible. This version can be played with any sensible combination of Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone and even Bass Saxophones.The main theme of Four Brothers provides the quartet with a perfect opportunity to focus on various important aspects of ensemble playing, including phrasing, articulation, timing, volume (balance), and tone. Additionally, I've added an intonation exercise based on the chord progression of the [A] section.Saxophone Quartet in various lineups (SATB, AATB, TTTB etc.).

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.764683 Composed by Raymond Scott. Arranged by James Pybus. Contemporary,Film/TV,Jazz. 28 pages. James Pybus #4298277. Published by James Pybus (A0.764683). Powerhouse (1937) is an instrumental musical composition by Raymond Scott, perhaps best known today as the iconic assembly line music in animated cartoons released by Warner Bros. The first use of Powerhouse in a cartoon occurred in the 1943 Warner Bros., Looney Tunes short Porky Pig’s Feat, directed by Frank Tashlin. Also in 1943, it was used in the Private Snafu shorts Gripes, Spies, and Rumors. It was subsequently featured in over 40 other Warner Bros. cartoons. The most well-known assembly-line usage of Powerhouse B occurs in Bob Clampett’s Baby Bottleneck (1946), in which newborn babies (of various species) are processed on a conveyor belt in time to the melody. Powerhouse has been used In The Simpsons four times. Simpsons creator Matt Groening once ranked Powerhouse as #14 on a list of his 100 Favorite Things. This arrangement is for either SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet with optional Bass Saxophone doubling the baritone. It is perfect for injecting a humourous element into a concert programme; audiences will love it. Many saxophone quartet enthusiasts will want this arrangement in their repertoire. Performance time is 2:45. Contact me at james.pybus56@gmail.com

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.532734 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Paul Wehage. Baroque. 21 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #1917. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.532734). The Aria with 30 variations which form the work which is known as the « Goldberg » variations is one of the greatest works of Bach. It is his only work which uses the form of variations and through three series of ten variations each, it explores a myriad of musical genres and styles. The initial Aria, which seems to be rather trite and banal at the beginning of the work, is magnified through these transformations and the da capo at the end brings us back to the beginning, which has been changed by the musical journey itself. As a sort of musical « initiation », it has become a work which sparks the imagination and which creates an atmosphere all it’s own. The story of how the work came to be written has to come to us through Bach’s first biographer, Johann Nikolaus Forkel in 1805, seventy-five years after the death of Bach. It would seem that a certain Count Keyserlingk, the Russian Ambassador to the Court of Dresden, had difficulty sleeping and asked Bach to compose a work which his protégé, a harpsichord virtuoso by the name of Goldberg, could play in a salon near his bedroom to help him sleep in the evening. For this commission, Bach was to receive the largest fee of his life, a hundred louis d’or in a golden goblet. It would seem that this story is perhaps more of a legend than anything else, as no goblet was found in Bach’s estate at the end of his life and no documented proof of this story has been found. Goldberg was indeed a student of C. P. E Bach, Bach’s son and the son might have asked his father to write these works for his brilliant student. No manuscript for the Goldberg Variations exists, only a first edition corrected in the hand of Bach which contains certain tempo indications and other markings. The first edition also carried the following title: « Clavierübung, consisting of an Aria with diverse variations for the Harpsichord with two manuals composed for music lovers to refresh their spirits by J. S. Bach ». In this version for Saxophone Quartet, it is important to remember that Bach was writing for the harpsichord and not for the Piano-forte. Bach did indeed know of the Piano-forte and played one of the first instruments produced, but it would seem that he did not care much for this new instrument. To find something akin to the precise, clearly defined attacks of the harpsichord, precise articulation and clarity of sound must be the first priority. In general, even in the slowest movements, the attacks must take precedent over all other elements of performance. If the need for clarity of line and precision of attack is respected, the inherent musicality contained in the work should be evident, even in this new form.. As Bach himself transcribed many of his own works and those of others, I would like to hope that he would find this question to be interesting and the results to be surprising...
