James Pugh has written a short work of chamber music in one movement called Short Scherz, Quintet for Saxophone Quartet and Trombone. This music is appropriate for very advanced performers and is about 2 1/2 minutes in length. The work begins with a bouncy melody (A Theme) that works it's way up through the instruments, comes to a climax and continues on into a languid melodic section (B Theme) and works its way by adding speed and dynamics to the conclusion (A Theme repeated). This work was written for and first performed in 1989 by George Marge and the American Saxophone Quartet with Mr. Pugh.

Inspired by the music of Sade, a popular singer in the 1980s, this serene Latin pop jazz original, Shades of Light, features a cantabile, lyrical theme. The melody calls for a cool, mellow execution supported by tenuto accompaniment figures. The solo part should be interpreted with a good rhythmic pulse punctuated with popular music inflections. Arranged for saxophone quartet (SATB/AATB).

This piece could be best described as a classically constructed piece with a jazz attitude. The tonal language has more to do with 20th century chamber music than jazz, as do the form and the structure of the movements. The rhythmic language probably comes more from jazz than from the classical area, although at times the piece could go either way. The same could be said for the phrasing and articulation.

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.

This original composition conveys a feeling of introspection and emotional upheaval periodically experienced throughout the course of one's life. An odd metered vamp is featured for all the saxophones to solo over.
