However, players are encouraged to keep the festive nature of the march in mind, and the use of the suggested ornamentation will lend verve and flair to the music.

These saxophone quartets are available together with a play-along CD, offering every musician of the quartet the possibility of working on his part at home---in addition to quartet rehearsals. The written parts do not include the phrasings of the improvisations on the CD, which is meant to induce the students to imitate those phrasings. Imitation is an essential step on the students' way to learning how to phrase in jazz. These solos are by no means obligatory. The notated chords serve as a basis for those who wish to improvise and create their own solos.

Saxophone Quartet was composed especially for presentation at the Montana Saxophone Festival and is dedicated to the festival's director, saxophonist Brooke Ferris. The first movement, Calliope, juxtaposes mechanized rhythmic patterns against legato, lyric melodies. The second movement, Chorale, explores homophonic, harmonic textures which alternate with lyric and contrapuntal passages, and was adapted from a short work composed for saxophone quartet in 1975. The last movement is a fugue.

Movements: Calliope * Chorale * Fugue.

Up-tempo even eighth piece. The melody is very angular (kind of Dolphy-ish), and the harmonies are unusual, since they are not based on traditional chord voicings. This chart sounds best played fast with a funky, gritty, earthy quality, but can work well even at a medium tempo.

The Sleep of the Infant Jesus is a ballad carol that is also a lullaby. Traditionally French, the tune dates before 1800, but the composer is unknown. Although little known, the tune is a beautiful and serene Christmas folk melody.

This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar), rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment, strives to include all the players in the music making, particularly by distributing melodic material. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations. Arranged for saxophone quartet.
