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.

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!

Despite its song-like melody, this is most decidedly no piece of music of quiet and peaceful tones---it is its element of contrast and suspense that brings it to life. This composition calls for emotion, expressiveness, and homogeneous ensemble playing.

The Sleep of the Infant Jesus is a ballad carol that is also a lullaby. Traditionally French, the tune dates before 1800, but the composer is unknown. Although little known, the tune is a beautiful and serene Christmas folk 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. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations. Arranged for saxophone quartet.

These saxophone quartets are available together with a play-along CD, offering every musician of the quartet the possibility of working on his part at home---in addition to quartet rehearsals. The written parts do not include the phrasings of the improvisations on the CD, which is meant to induce the students to imitate those phrasings. Imitation is an essential step on the students' way to learning how to phrase in jazz. These solos are by no means obligatory. The notated chords serve as a basis for those who wish to improvise and create their own solos.

Etude IV. from 12 Etudes in All the Minor Keys. Arranged for saxophone quartet by Matt Evans.
Matt Evans is a saxophonist in the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own.” He is a founding member of the Zzyzx Quartet, Project Fusion and the Eastman Saxophone Project (ESP), and is a laureate of the Fischoff, Plowman, Coleman, J.C. Arriaga, and MTNA competitions.
One of the most pleasant surprises I’ve had in my composing life was my accidental discovery of the Zzyzx Quartet’s arrangement of this etude. If asked, I would have never thought that my piece could be adapted to the medium of the sax quartet! But Matt Evans’ ingenuity as an arranger, coupled with a genuinely masterful performance which managed to capture the true spirit of the work, convinced me completely. I am so happy to have a small part in contributing to the sax quartet literature! - Marc-Andre Hamelin

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.

Inspired by the music of Sade, a popular singer in the 1980s, this serene Latin pop jazz original, Shades of Light, features a cantabile, lyrical theme. The melody calls for a cool, mellow execution supported by tenuto accompaniment figures. The solo part should be interpreted with a good rhythmic pulse punctuated with popular music inflections. Arranged for saxophone quartet (SATB/AATB).

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.

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.

This suite was inspired most notably by the saxophone quartets of Phil Woods and was written in a conscious attempt to wed certain stylistic elements of classical and jazz music. The players are not asked to improvise, but the piece does feature sections that sound spontaneous and freely created. The piece is difficult, but no more so than other quartets, like Glazunov and Desenclos, that are standard repertoire for this instrumentation. Talented high school and all college groups will find success working on this piece. The first movement, subtitled Danse Macabre, is ominous, dark, sometimes bluesy, and is propelled along by the use of intricate counterpoint and an improvised sounding solo section for the tenor saxophone.
