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.

The lyrics for As with Gladness Men of Old were written by Englishman William Dix (1837--1898) in the 1860s, reportedly on the day of the Epiphany while Dix was sick in bed. The tune was included in a collection of German chorales edited by Conrad Kocher and published in the 1830s. As a testimony to the flexibility of such music, the hymn is also sung during Thanksgiving under the title For the Beauty of the Earth. This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar)---rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment---strives to include all of the players in the music making, particularly by distributing the melodic material. All dynamics and articulations, minimally marked, should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.

Der erste Satz von Mendelssohns dreisätziger Orgelsonate op. 65, Nr. 6 ist ein Variationensatz über den Choral Vater unser im Himmelreich. Die vorliegende Bearbeitung für Saxophonquartett übernimmt die Originaltonart d-Moll. Die Unterschiede zum Original sind: * Der einleitende thematische Choral wurde unter Beibehaltung der Mendelssohnschen Harmonik statt fünfstimmig jetzt vierstimmig gesetzt. * Die vierte Variation, ein überaus virtuoser Abschnitt im Organo-pleno-Klang, musste entfallen. * Als Abschluss der Quartettbearbeitung wurde der dritten Variation der wirkungsvolle Schluss der vierten Variation des Originals angefügt.
