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.

Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish, and Gaelic musical tradition. These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view. Yet, they are quite demanding in respect of the key they are written in, their intonation and, especially, their interpretation. Their different instrumentations are fully compatible with each other and, due to their overall structure, they are also suitable to be played with multi-scored parts. The original of The Sons of Liberty is of a more recent date and goes back to the time when the King of England forced the Irish farmers' sons to go to war in America against their own fellow countrymen who were striving for freedom there. The arrangement conveys the impression of a vigorous forward motion created by a recurring and changing riff. Although it is written in a somewhat more difficult key (E minor), it is not too exacting from the technical point of view.

Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes are---in a direct or wider sense---of Celtic origin, in other words, they have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish and Gaelic musical tradition. These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view.

Annotation on Aignish on the Machair. The arrangement of Aignish on the Machair illustrates, above all, the melancholic character inherent in the harmonies of the original tune. A short rubato passage is followed by several variations over the flowing melody in 3/4- time. The short triplet passages embedded in these variations are quite demanding from the technical point of view; considering the key they are written in, however, these passages are not too difficult to play.

In 1989 when Louis Andriessen was teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Miles Davis Autobiography was published.While reading it, he suddenly knew what the subject of his piece for the Kronos Quartet should be - early be-bop licks and especially the work of Charlie Parker. He wanted to do the impossible - be-bop is not at all idiomatic for string instruments. But be-bop had been an important influence on his musical development when he was young, and he decided to do something with this music from his youth. Basically the essence of Charlie Parkers playing is the extremely fast tempo. This fast tempo is really fast, because the playing is based upon the chord structure of existing melodies which are sometimes played two or three times as fast as normal. Parker needed speed to express what he musically felt: little time was left for him. This is the main explanation of the title of the work.In the beginning of Facing Death, Andriessen literally quotes fragments of Charlie Parker improvisations. He also quotes one original melody: Ornithology (which is based on How High the Moon). The 7th and 8th bars of Ornithology become an important motif inthe piece. The whole composition is one long development in Parker's fast tempo. This work was composed in 1990 for string quartet and later arranged for saxophone quartet.

This nice and easy-to-perform ragtime features a number of catchy tunes. Every individual voice carries the melody. The retardations and accelerations stipulated in the second part of the arrangement give the artist's fancy full scope. The modulated reprise takes the piece to its final climax. Time for Ragtime!

Three works with quotations from well-known composers are contained in this tongue-in-cheek collection. Otto M. Schwarz has produced an outstanding recording of these works with members of the Slovak Philharmonic, which is available on all streaming and download platforms. 1. THE AMADEUS WATCH: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's own watch - if he had one - ticks away. The ticking carries us back in time with a piece that stylistically imitates the music of the 18th century in melody, harmony and rhythm. 2. COMPOSERS DINNER IN HEAVEN: At the music publisher De Haske, a composers' dinner was an integral part of trade fairs or meetings. The dinner was very popular among anyone who sat at it, not least of all because it offered one the opportunity to chat informally. Based on such a meeting, Otto M. Schwarz has composed a work that describes an imaginary dinner of great classical masters on a cloud in the sky. Guess which composers are present by the references in the form of musical quotations and stylistic devices! 3. SCHERZO FOR WOOD QUARTET: The work, in 12/8 time, moves in a rapid furioso. Underscored by a continuous eighth note rhythm, the work creates in the listener the sensation of a frantic rollercoaster ride. The theme moves throughout all the parts, and following a chromatically moving chord sequence, ends in a dramatic crescendo.

Herbei, O Ihr Gläub'gen (Adeste fideles, or O Come, All Ye Faithful) has been arranged for saxophone quartet (AATBar) by Eberhard Michaely. After a rubato introduction, the groove in 5/4 time immediately sets in and runs through the remainder of the piece. The unusual time signature creates a flowing melody. The first alto part features a funky solo, which can be played ad lib or as written.

Frequently, one is in search of a suitable ensemble piece where each member can present himself with a playable solo part. Welcome to New Orleans offers you and your musicians this possibility. Using a fast swing rhythm, the author describes in this composition the modern and the old New Orleans and its colorful history. Due to its compatibility---available are editions for saxophone, clarinet, and brass quartet---this piece enables you to put together your own small New Orleans band, e.g. consisting of a clarinet, a trumpet, a tenor saxophone, and a trombone. That's almost like playing music in the good old times!

The piece shows the characteristic features of a march, making little use of syncopations and should therefore be played in a faster tempo. In order to take full advantage of the saxophone quartet's range, this arrangement is written in D flat major.

1906, Scott Joplin met the Creole pianist and composer Louis Chauvin. This encounter resulted in the creation of the rag tune Heliotrope Bouquet. The latter of the two, who could neither read nor write music, composed the first two parts, A and B. Scott Joplin assisted Chauvin with the notation and completed the joint composition by contributing the two additional parts C and D.

Gloucestershire Wassail is associated with an English custom that was observed at Christmas time. A large, decorated bowl of spiced ale was hoisted through town by a group of carolers---Yule serenaders---in a tradition that has its roots in the beggars of the Middle Ages and Pagan festivals. The tune is therefore associated with Christmas revelry and joy. Gloucestershire Wassail probably dates from the 18th century, and is considered a traditional English tune. 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 the melodic material. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.

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.

The theme Kommet, ihr Hirten, or Come, All Ye Shepherds, first presented in the style of a classical swing waltz, is followed by a tutti variation of the melody in 4/4 time, then by a tenor saxophone solo, and a return to the opening theme. The arrangement for saxophone quartet (AATBar) by Eberhard Michaely is written at a medium swing tempo.

Originally written for solo keyboard, this pair of sonatas from the late Baroque render beautifully for modern saxophone quartets. The first is a slow andante in 3/4; the second is an energetic allegro in 3/8 time. Together they will bring a sense of artistic integrity to any concert.

Noels (the French spelling) are old but enduring carols that often tell a ballad-like story. Nowells (English spelling) are likely derived from and developed by English wandering minstrels. Both carols and nowells are often in 3/4 meter, lending themselveswell to dance. The First Nowell is one of a few carols that survived a ban on Christmas by the English Parliament in 1645. The tune is one of the oldest ballad carols, perhaps dating back to 1500, and likely originating in England. This arrangement of The First Nowell has multiple settings of the 3/4 time 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 throughout the ensemble. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.
