Arranged by Benjamin Karaca. Baroque,Chamber,Christian,Classical,Multicultural,World. 16 pages. Benjamin Karaca #6266395. Published by Benjamin Karaca (A0.946346). This piece was originally composed for harpsichord. Its authorship by Bach is disputed.Originally, when writing this arrangement, I had the lineup of Alto, Tenor, and Baritone Sax (ATB) in mind. However, the first part can also be played on the Soprano Sax, and the second part on the Alto Sax. Thus, this arrangement can be performed with various instrument combinations. Apart from very few changes, this arrangement closely follows the source material. I opted not to add articulations and have retained the original key of A minor.Saxophone Trio ATB (SAB / STB / AAB). Duration: 3:00 min. Level: 3/5.Part 1: Soprano Sax / Alto SaxPart 2: Alto Sax / Tenor SaxPart 3: Baritone SaxScore in CA high-quality arrangement by a professional musician.

This fugue was originally composed for a keyboard instrument and was published with a prelude in Bach's world-famous collection The Well-Tempered Clavier.I originally wrote this arrangement for the lineup Soprano, Alto, and Baritone Sax (SAB).

Arranged by Benjamin Karaca. 20th Century,Latin,Multicultural,Standards,Traditional,World. 17 pages. Benjamin Karaca #6383879. Published by Benjamin Karaca (A0.946353). El Choclo is one of the most famous tangos of all time. Originally, El Choclo was purely an instrumental piece. Later on, Spanish and English lyrics were added to it. El Choclo translates to the corn cob in English. The piece is also known under the English title Kiss of Fire.This version for Saxophone Trio ATB, just like the original, is written in D minor and follows an ABCA form. I’ve written two different intros. [Intro 1] provides a lively and ambitious entry into the piece. The four-bar [Intro 2], on the other hand, sounds a bit more dramatic and has a high degree of recognizability. As the piece progresses, I've incorporated some variations of the tango rhythm.Saxophone Trio ATB (STB / STBs / ATBs). Duration: 2:10 min.

Saxophone Trio,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.946345 Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by Benjamin Karaca. 19th Century,Classical,Multicultural,Romantic Period,Wedding,World. 21 pages. Benjamin Karaca #6265761. Published by Benjamin Karaca (A0.946345). The String Trio in B-flat major, D 471 is a composition by the romantic era composer Franz Schubert. The piece was originally written for string trio (Violin, Viola and Cello). Like many of Franz Schubert’s works, it also remained unfinished. It consists of two movements: Allegro (finished) and Andante (unfinished).Apart from a few necessary concessions to the technical capabilities of the saxophone, this arrangement closely follows the original, including articulation markings. Since the second movement only exists as a fragment, it is not part of this arrangement.Saxophone Trio SAB. Duration: 8:00 min.

Saxophone Trio,Woodwind Ensemble Baritone Saxophone - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1148916 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Ander. Classical,Instructional,March,Opera,Romantic Period. 10 pages. Woods Only, Arrangements #749049. Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.1148916). This arrangement adapted for baritone saxophone trio was written keeping the characteristics of the original work, that is, inspiring and significant to the already known choral symphony by Beethoven, indicated to be performed by young music students, who want to enter the symphonic music, moreover, it can also be used by professional musicians, for recitals, repertoire, academic presentations and didactic material. As much as it is a funeral march, it is well suited for any musical performance occasion. The transcription is faithful to the structure, with only one change in key, so that it is comfortable for all instruments in the formation, thus maintaining the essence of the striking melody, as well as using it for ensemble practice among musicians of different traditions. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony Op. 125 incorporates part of the poem An die Freude (To Joy), a hymn written by Friedrich Schiller, with the text sung by soloists and a choir in its last movement. It was the first example of a major composer using the human voice as prominently as the instruments in a symphony, thus creating a far-reaching work that set the tone for the symphonic form that was to be adopted by Romantic composers. This is the last complete symphony composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. The choral symphony, better known as the Ninth Symphony or The Ninth, is one of the best known works in the Western repertoire, considered both an icon and predecessor of Romantic music, and one of Beethoven's great masterpieces, where it was first performed on May 7, 1824, the same year it was completed, at the Kärntnertortheater in Vienna, Austria. The conductor was Michael Umlauf, the theater's music director, and Beethoven - dissuaded from conducting by the advanced stage of his deafness - was given a special place on the stage next to the conductor. It was later rearranged by Herbert von Karajan to become the anthem of the European Union in 1972, the national anthem of Rhodesia from 1974 until 1979, Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia, used the tune Ode to Joy..
