Ein kurzweiliges, kontrastreiches Opus, angeregt durch das Rascher-Quartett, dem es auch gewidmet ist; keine experimentelle, aber instrumentengerechte, neue Musik, auf die Spiel- und Ausdrucksmoglichkeiten sowie auf den spezifischen Klang eines technisch und musikalisch anspruchsvollen Saxophon-Ensembles bezogen (Sopran - Alt- Tenor - Bariton)Funf suitenformig locker aneinander gereihte Satze (Funf ,,Blatter) werden durch ein dodekaphonisches Leitmotiv verknupft, das zu Anfang eines jeden Satzes erklingt.Im Circulo ostinato bestimmt diese Figur entscheidend den Verlauf des Stuckes; zu Beginn des Finales verdichtet sie sich zum vierstimmigen Kanon. Ostinate und rhythmische Formeln pragen den Charakter des ganzen Werkes.Allegro ruzzone (Ubermut)Ein knappes lebhaftes Eingangsstuck; auf dem Hohepunkt erscheint, wie ein Atemholen, ein melodisch-ausdrucksvoller Gedanke, der sich imitatorisch im Kreise dreht, ehe eine kurze Stretta in schnellem Tempo zum Pianissimoschluss fuhrt.Circulo ostinato (Kreisende Wiederholung) (Andante con moto)Der Mittelteil des Satzes entwickelt sich aus gestauten Tonwiederholungen und den melodischen Flosklen des Urthemas in immer neuen Anlaufen zu grosser Steigerung. Am Anfang und Ende steht ein mehrstimmiger Kanon, der um eine abwarts gerichtete chromatische Tonfolge kreist.Ballo estatico (,,Entfesselter Tanz) (Allegro molto)In diesem Satz dominieren rhythmisch tanzerische und aggressive Elemente; drei verschiedene Episoden entfalten sich uber ostinaten Bassbewegungen, die letzte gerat zur ,,freien Variation uber Debussys (,,Golliwoggs cake walk aus den ,,Children's Corner).Sogno solitario (Einsamer Traum) (Andante)Der ,,langsame Satz des Quartetts wachst aus rezitativischem Beginn, uber einen ausdrucksvollen Mittelteil (mit engraumiger Melodik) bis zu einer ausgedehnten Trillerflache und dichten, abwarts sturzenden chromatischen Figuren (Quintolen), kehrt uber einen ruhigen Abschnitt (in tiefer Lage) zum Rezitativ zuruck, klingt verhalten aus.Fugato scherzando (Allegro molto)Ein virtuos humorvolles Finale, nach dem einleitenden vierstimmigen ,,Kreisel-Kanon des Leitmotivs entwickelt sich aus einem skurrilen Thema eine rhythmisch vertrackte Fuge, unterbrochen von einem trioahnlichen Intermezzo und wirkungsvoll turbulent zum befreienden Schluss gesteigert.(Jurg Baur)Bibliography:Gudelho fer, Matthias: Jurg Baur.

†œTico-Tico” is a well-known Brazilian piece composed by Zequinha de Abreu. Georges Sadeler arranged this work for Saxophone and Clarinet Quartet. Georges Sadeler, born in 1988 is a Luxembourgish composer and saxophonist with the Grand Ducal Military Band of Luxembourg. His father kindled his interest in composing and arranging at an early age, a study he later continued under his two teachers Marco Pütz and Claude Lenners, both of whom taught at the Conservatoire of Music, Luxembourg. He gradually began to establish his own style, combining the enormous range of possibilities of contemporary music and classical music and, in the years that followed, he won six first prizes at various national and international composition competitions. His works have since been performed all over Europe.

4 Saxophones SATBar

SKU: AP.1-ADV7429

For SATBar Saxophone Quartet. Composed by Conrad Kocher. Arranged by Bill Perconti. Quartet; Solo Small Ensembles; Woodwind - Saxophone Quartet. Advance Music: Holiday Celebration Series. Christmas; Epiphany; Sacred; Traditional; Winter. Score and Part(s). Advance Music #01-ADV7429. Published by Advance Music (AP.1-ADV7429).

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.

Per Norgard DANCERS AROUND JUPITERI: 'Shadow Dancer', dedicated to Axel Borup-Jorgensen, as my birthday greeting on the composer's 70th birthday 22.11.94II: 'Jupiter Waves', dedicated to Dr. Jeffrey D. ThompsonIII: 'Day Dancer', dedicated to the dancer and choreographer Marie Lalander, as a homage: Marie wrote the line which inspired me for the title: 'Woman, oh you day dancer'.The title of the whole work is immediately intelligible if one compares the individual titles of the outer movements with the title of the middle movement.Axel Borup-Jorgensen and Marie Lalander could be said to be in rotation around Jupiter in the following sense:Axel's music has a 'shadow dancing' side, which can most clearly be heard in his works for harpsichord and double-bass - or in his work for organ. But his music has also a light side, which can be heard in 'Marin' or in 'Nordic Summer Pastorale'.Marie's dance and choreography contain both ecstatic forces of light and expressions of the suppressed and dark. The music of the middle movement on the other hand is in all ways inspired by the actual acoustic ion waves, that constantly arise through the collision of the sun wind with Jupiter's magnet field (registered by Voyager II, 1989). This movement is dedicated to Dr Jeffrey D. Thompson who made these NASA registrations publicly available in the CD-series'NASA Voyager Space Sounds'.Per Norgard.

Andante and Scherzo by Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) is a very enjoyable quartet for saxophones composed in 1938. Dedicated to the Paris quartet, this romantic piece is divided in two parts: it starts as a slow section, with a tenor solo followed by the chorus and it then jumps into an engaging quick staccato. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets among others.

Saxophone Quartet and Trombone - Advanced

Composed by Jim Pugh. Classical. Score and Parts. Cherry Classics #CC3180. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC3180).

ISBN 9790530119082. 8.5 x 11 in inches.

James Pugh has written a short work of chamber music in one movement called Short Scherz, Quintet for Saxophone Quartet and Trombone. This music is appropriate for very advanced performers and is about 2 1/2 minutes in length. The work begins with a bouncy melody (A Theme) that works it's way up through the instruments, comes to a climax and continues on into a languid melodic section (B Theme) and works its way by adding speed and dynamics to the conclusion (A Theme repeated). This work was written for and first performed in 1989 by George Marge and the American Saxophone Quartet with Mr. Pugh.
