Historical information about Händel's Water Music Suites is limited, but certainly these works were intended for two, possibly three, parties given by King George I on the Thames River, London, between 1715 and 1736. Händel and his orchestra played on a barge. Since then the some twenty-two separate original pieces have been organized into three Suites and nicknamed 'Water Music?, each having a separate key and likely corresponding to these river parties. This transcription of Water Music Suite II for saxophone quartet has two purposes: to make this music available to saxophonists for performance and education, and to provide in one volume the entire Suite II. The exception to the latter, because of the limits of endurance, is the exclusion of the short Adagio, a brief interlude between the fi rst two movements. Included though are the Allegro, Hornpipe, Minuet, Lentement, and Bourree. These works were originally meant for an outdoor performance, and one of the original intentions of the saxophone was to play in French military bands, also an open-air purpose. The original scoring of brass, woodwind, and string instruments (but no continuo) transcribe well for saxophones. Matching the ranges of instruments of the original to the saxophone quartet was a primary objective. In addition, this arrangement strives to disperse melodic material to all four saxophones so as to make the arrangement pleasing to all the members of the quartet while providing variety to an audience. Any dynamic, articulation, and tempo markings are to be taken only as suggestions so as to allow interpretation by the performers. The musical study and performance of all styles while using examples of composition and performance that represent excellence is necessary for saxophonists who wish to be well-rounded musicians. For the above reasons saxophonists are urged to listen to recordings of the original orchestration in order to learn and imitate proper interpretation of Baroque style. There are currently a number of excellent recordings of Handel's Suites on period instruments, such as (but not limited to) those by conductors John Eliot Gardiner, Christopher Hogwood, and the ensemble Tafelmusik. The Lewis-Clark State College Saxophone Quartet has for many years enjoyed performing Suite II for concerts, ceremonies and social settings, and I thank Advance Music for the opportunity to bring these great works to the profession. / 4 Saxophones (SATBar)

Cette fugue est un clin d'oeil musical dont le sujet, entre élan pompeux et profil faussement martial, est tiré du célèbre chant patriotique britannique Rule Britannia ! composé vers 1760 par Thomas Arne, Coulée dans la structure d'une fugue d'école (non sans licences) et parfaitement tonale, cette oeuvre est une pièce légère qui doit être comprise comme un divertissement, écrit sans autre prétention que de favoriser le plaisir de jouer ensemble, Pour un quatuor constitué, cette pièce peut servir de bis léger, Collection Notes de Sax / 4 Saxophones

Conducteur et parties Saxophone Quartet (SATB) The Three Songs (Trois Chansons) dating from 1914/15 were arranged for four a cappella voices by Ravel immediately after he had written the music of these pieces. The lyrics were penned by the composer himself. The songs represent Ravel’s sole contribution to choral literature. The first song consists of three sections and tells the story of Nicolette, who sets out to pick flowers in the fields. Just like Little Red Ridinghood, she meets a wolf who asks her if she is on her way to her grandmother’s house (M.1-13). Fleeing from him, she meets a page who wonderswhether she would like to have him as her “lover true”. She dismisses his proposition though she finds it hard to do so (M. 14-39). In the third section, she encounters a plump, unhandsome man (lento!). He speaks to her:”Stay, stay, my Nicolette, all this gold I give to thee”, and - “VIVO” - Nicolette takes refuge in his arms. (M.40 to end). The Three Lovely Birds from Paradise are sky-blue, white as fallen snow and bright red - just like the colors of the Tricolore, the national flag of France - which has been interpreted in many reviews as a sign of an increasingly nationalistic attitude becoming apparent in the war year of 1914. This song mourns the loss of the beloved one who went to war. The Ronde is also made up of three sections. The old women are the first to sing (M.1-28). They warn the young maidens against entering the forest since it is inhabited by all kinds of dangerous (male) beasts. Then (M. 29 – 56) the old men warn the young lads against going into the woods because of the numerous (female) demons living there. The irony of the story is to be found in the final answer of the young people (as of M. 57), who conclude: “We will not go into the woods since the old folks have frightened off all the beasts, anyway.”

Quartet for Saxophones is a piece for four Saxophones composed by Alfred Desenclos in 1964 which lasts around 15 minutes and 30 seconds. Initially written for the Marcel Mule Quartet Quartet for Saxophones is a typical French quartet quite smooth and suave. The beginning of the piece that sets up the Soprano Saxophone against the others is quite jazzy but then it continues on to a more lyrical part quite slow with a simple melody. The tension is gradually built up and the finale unison is introduced quite dramatically with some bursts of energy. This Quartet for Saxophones wouldfit a Quartet of advanced to professional players. Alfred Desenclos (1912-1961) is a French Composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1942. He also composed masses such as 'Messe de Requiem' and other pieces for Double Bass Harp Flute Trumpet or French Horn.

Einfache Noten - höchster AnspruchArvo Pärts Musik schön zu spielen heißt die Perfektion des Klangs zu erreichen. Eine Musik an der vordergründige Virtuosität übermäßige Dynamik oder Effekt beladenes Ausdrucksspiel einfach abprallen die aber im Gegensatz dazu jedem einzelnen Ton den nötigen Raum zur vollkommenen klanglichen Entfaltung gibt. Für den Komponisten ist dies das erklärte Ziel für den Interpreten eine schwer zu erfüllende Aufgabe.Seine Komposition Summa realisierte Pärt selbst bereits in mehreren Besetzungen - ursprünglich für Chorgeschrieben dann arrangiert für verschiedene Streicherbesetzungen. Bestätigung im musikalischen Streben nach Perfektion in der Einfachheit findet sich auch im vorliegenden Saxophon-Arrangement das Pärts intensiven und faszinierenden Sensibilisierungslehrgang zur Optimierung von Klang Intonation und Zusammenspiel um eine Klangvariante erweitert.
