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.

Subtitled
A Little Suite for Four,
the first movement
features a unison melody
written in B minor. In
the second movement, a
leitmotiv with variations
and the use of repeated
jazz phrases is
presented; all four
instruments take turns in
assuming primary and
supporting roles. The
third movement is a
ballad-like theme
featuring soprano and
baritone sax sharing a
pleasant conversation.
The fourth movement goes
on a joyful melodic ride
passing through all the
saxophones parts, one
after the other.

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. 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.
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.

Irish farmers' sons to go
to war in America against
their own fellow

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.

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.
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.

song of a helmsman living
on the Isle of

interpreted with the
musicians paying careful
attention to its dynamics
and phrasing, which
reflect the up-and-down
motion of the stormy
Artic Ocean. For this
arrangement the key D
minor---which is one
whole tone lower than the
original---has been
chosen to make sure that
the piece is playable,
especially for a clarinet
quartet.

The Boogie
Woogie Bari Boy by Ed
Harlow is a groovy little
sax quartet
(AATBar/SATBar) that
features, you guessed it,
the baritone sax. It has
a medium difficulty but
the baritone part
requires a lot of air! It
is swinging and
unpretentious.

The
Little Quartet for Four
Horns op. 185 by Erkki
Melartin was commissioned
by the progenitor of
Finnish horn playing,
Holger Fransman
(1909-1997). The Helsinki
Music Institute's horn
class received this three
movement quartet from
their principal for the
spring concert in May
1936. A composition for
four French horns was a
rarity in 1930s Finland.
The quartet was performed
for decades as Holger
Fransman's arrangement.
This edition is based on
the original version of
the composer.
