Quartet - Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone. This is a complete arrangement of Verdi's only surviving piece of chamber music, the string quartet in E minor. In four movements this represents a serious challenge for expert players, using the full range of all instruments is used. The four movements explore a wide range of keys and tempi, and use many varied textures and styles from some intricate counterpoint to more lyrical melodies reminiscent of the operas. A chance for sax players to get to know a lesser known gem.

Written in tribute to all mothers, but especially the composer's mother Florilyn, who died at the age of 90 in 2008, each of the four movements in this grade 3 suite may be performed independently of the others with excellent results. Movement 1 is a plaintive waltz with lush romantic harmonies. Movement 2 is a comedic interpolation featuring portions of two etudes by Muzio Clementi and the tick-tick sound of the typewriter. Conflict, reconciliation, resolution, and acceptance is the conveyed essence of movement 3. And with a reverent duet introduction, the final movement of Elégie à nos mères commemorates the end of Florilyn's long life. Arranged for saxophone quartet (SATBar).

This suite includes five separate movements that present an authentic Latin musical form and should be carefully approached with an indigenous flavor, sensibility, and attitude. The fourth movement is a quirky, fun-loving waltz with cadences in unexpected places.
