Julius Hemphill is celebrated for the brilliance and expressive range of his compositions for Saxophone Quartet and Sextet. The Saxophone Quartet works included in Book I and II were premiered by Julius with the World Saxophone Quartet (WSQ). Covering a broad range of musical styles, they are compelling vehicles for improvisation and equally works that can be performed without improvisation as a concert suite. The orchestration is S/A/T/B, with some doubling of alto and soprano saxophone. These two collections are also available for String Quartet instrumentation and performance. Saxophone Quartet (SATBar) Published by: Subito Music Publishing Includes: Revue Another Feeling Touchic' R&B Cool Red JiJi Tune Pillars Latino Slide One/Waltz/Time Bumpkin.

Reicha wrote a Cours de Composition and it is in this book that the Variations for Wind Quartet are to be found. Reicha presents the theme as a two-part fragment, which he suggests could form the basis for the Andante of a quartet or quintet. He then describes how to elaborate the theme. First he adds two simple inner parts whose accompanying role adds harmonic richness, variety and interest to the outer counterpoint. Then Reicha proceeds to create variations out of his original theme: he inverts the outer parts, varies them, inverts the variations, varies them again and finally inverts the second variation. The result is a short piece in six eight-bar sections which offer accessible chamber music and an example of compositional techniques for teaching use. A new edition of the Variations offering a wide range of instrumentation has been prepared by C.M.M. Nex and F.H. Nex with the permission of the Syndics of Cambridge University Library.Former Spartan Press Cat. No.: PP36.

Lotta Wennäkoski's Pige (2021-2022) for string quartet was commissioned to be paired with the Death and the Maiden quartet by Franz Schubert (pige is Danish for girl). The composer tells:The first movement Vorüber, ach, vorüber! is based on the first half of Schubert’s lied lying behind his The Death and the Maiden quartet. The maiden’s song in the beginning of the lied has not found its way to his string quartet, so I wanted to use this material in mine. The second move-ment Daktylus borrows its idea from the haunting pulse of Schubert’s chant of Death. Something fierce and something soundless can be heard here - along with other variants on the dactyl rhythm. For example, I’ve written a lyrically flowing melody based on the same rhythmic pattern (long-short-short).Schubert’s quartet is wonderful music and of course a cornerstone of the repertoire, and the death and the maiden is a strong, tempting and gloomy motif in art history. On the other hand, I just couldn’t help seeing the motif also as a - somewhat passé - image of an old male desiring the ulti-mately young female body. The third movement thus turns its gaze to the girl herself. Pigen og scrapbogen, The Girl and the Scrapbook, is joyful textural music - compiled of fragments and freely handled quotations that might spring to mind when thinking of a vital girl’s life.This product includes the full score and the set of parts.Movements:1. Vorüber, ach, vorüber!2. Daktylus3. Pigen og scrapbogen (das Mädchen und das Scrapbuch)The first movement can also be performed separately as a prologue to The Death and the Maiden string quartet by Franz Schubert.
