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!

Infant Holy, Born So Lowly is one of the oldest traditional Polish Christmas songs and can be found in present day hymnals. A simple folk tune, the origins of this stately melody date from the 13th or 14th century. The lyrics depict a manger song, and the music has been performed as a circle dance. This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar), rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment, strives to include all the players in the music making by distributing the melodic material. In addition, all dynamics and articulations, minimally marked, should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.

This suite includes five separate movements that present an authentic Latin musical form. Although the fifth movement, a samba, begins and ends in compound 3/2 meter, it swings and sways, employing complex and contrapuntal harmonies, rhythms, and percussive accents. The baritone sax provides a soloistic bass line throughout.

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.

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.

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 subtitle 'For a young elephant' of 'Circus Polka' composed by Stravinsky is due to the piece's original use as music for a ballet performance with 50 elephants and the same number of ballerinas. The effective and inventive composition ranks among the modern classics of the 20th century and is presented here in arrangements for saxophone quartet or saxophone ensemble.

Something quite a bit different from the usual Christmas program fare, Bartok's collection of Romanian Christmas Carols springs from his lifelong fascination with folk music of the region. Bartok arranged several of these folk songs for the Christmas season into his original piano solos (UE005890), and van Zoelen has faithfully transcribed this into saxophone quartet. Series II presents ten folks tunes performed as a seamless whole. (Series I is available as UE037115.).
