Instructional,Jazz. 56 pages. Tony Benade #3480699. Published by Tony Benade (A0.809096). The Common Chord Progressions of Jazz Standards is part two of the study, Jazz, The Language of Music. Once a student has mastered their basic mechanics of the scales, chords and chord functions, it becomes important to become familiar with the normal chord progressions that are used in many of the jazz standards. There are many chord patterns that are repeated over and over again. Being able to recognize them quickly in any key becomes a very valuable tool.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.946269 Composed by Alan Silvestri. Arranged by James A. C. Glass. Contemporary. 9 pages. James A. C. Glass #6303193. Published by James A. C. Glass (A0.946269). All arrangements are in the same key as the original composition. Arranged for SATB Saxophone Quartet. Runtime 1:57.A famous piece filled with consistent syncopation, this arrangement gives the melody to the soprano saxophone with the alto saxophone adding harmonies until the tenor saxophone taxes over the melody at the key change, allowing the soprano to fill in the spaces with embellishments. The baritone saxophone's long, low notes carries the piece and keeps it grounded throughout the changes. This is a wonderful song that works for most any performance event.

Divertimento for Saxophone Quartet
Saxophone Quartet: 4 saxophones
Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.755222 Com…
(+)
Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.755222 Composed by Sy Brandon. 20th Century,Contemporary. 95 pages. Sy Brandon #3418983. Published by Sy Brandon (A0.755222). Divertimento is in three movements. The first movement Frolic has three main thematic ideas. The first contains dotted rhythms, staccato articulation, and meter change. The second thematic idea is related to the first in that it also uses dotted rhythms and meter change, but is more legato and begins with more sustained notes. The third thematic section is thinner in texture, more playful, and has a legato theme over a staccato background. The motivic material in each of these sections has similarities. Contrast is primarily obtained through change of style and mood. These thematic ideas develop throughout the movement by varying key, instrumentation, and melodic material. There are several sections of imitation that are very energetic. The second movement Ballad is lyrical at an Andante tempo. The form of the movement is through-composed as the motives develop into new variations instead of having clearly distinguished themes. There is however a recapitulation that brings the listen back to the opening material. The main motives that develop are a sixteenth note pattern that is arpeggiated and also stepwise, a dotted quarter and eighth note idea that is often on weak beats as well as appearing on strong beats, and scalewise eighth note lines. All of these interweave among the parts with frequent counterpoint and some imitation. The harmony is lush with seventh chords used frequently. The last movement Tarantella is in a lively tempo. The form of this movement is a large ABA(Scherzo, Trio, Scherzo). The A sections are in triple meter while the B section is in duple. The A section is in three parts, forming an ABA within the large A. The material for the first part is motivically derived. The first motive is a dotted eighth, sixteenth, eighth note followed by even eighth notes. The second motive is four chromatic sixteenth notes followed by an eighth note. This motive appears both ascending and descending. The B section within this large A consists of a slurred melodic line that has both stepwise motion and leaps. It is accompanied by staccato chromatic eighth notes. The large B section is folksong-like and is in a recognizable binary form that repeats in a new key. The large A serves as a recapitulation of the opening section and it ends lightly and playfully in keeping with the Divertimento title that means to divert or amuse.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1101942 Composed by Frederic Chopin. Arranged by RUSSELL T. KING. 19th Century,Contest,Festival,Romantic Period. 16 pages. EMK Music #705334. Published by EMK Music (A0.1101942). Chopin believed Opus 10 No 3 to be the most beautiful melody he ever composed. This adaptation has had a change of time signature to match the more modern interpretation and a change of key signature to make it more saxophone friendly. Much of the pianistic gymnastics have been smoothed out. The players should make great use of Rubato and it is suggested listening to Lang Lang's performance on youtube (www.youtube.com/watch/?v=8yjnLmv1hHU) to capture the style and ambience intended in this arrangement.

Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1485585 Composed by D.M. Binkowski. Chamber,Contemporary. 28 pages. D.M. Binkowski #1062646. Published by D.M. Binkowski (A0.1485585). Whereas the original Winds of Paradise was written with a specific group in mind, The 'Hodges Edition' of this piece makes certain changes meant to improve accessibility for groups of all shapes and sizes. The key was changed to the friendlier F, toning down the demanding range of the original. The instrumentation was also altered, trading an alto for a new 'soprano saxophone 2' part. The result is a more relaxed, more nostalgic version of this piece, inspired by introspective hikes around Lake Hodges from my hometown.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1406650 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Baroque,Chamber,Contest,Festival,Historic,Standards. 59 pages. Jmsgu3 #989408. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1406650). The importance of Bach's French Suites lies in their unique blend of French and Italian styles despite the misleading title. These suites, composed between 1722 and 1725 for the clavier, showcase Bach's mastery in stylizing traditional dances like allemandes, courantes, sarabandes, and gigues. While named French Suites by later sources like Johann Nikolaus Forkel, they follow Italian conventions with some French influences. The suites offer a rich musical experience, bridging different European styles and serving as valuable teaching pieces. Despite the misleading title, Bach's French Suites are a testament to his compositional genius and continue to be cherished by musicians and audiences alike. The history behind Bach's French Suites is intertwined with a bittersweet period in Bach's life. In May 1720, Bach embarked on a trip, leaving his wife, Maria Barbara, and four children. Tragically, upon his return, he discovered that Maria Barbara had passed away. This loss led to a significant change in Bach's personal life as he became a single father mourning his wife. Despite this tragedy, Bach found love again with Anna Magdalena Wülcken, whom he married. As a gesture of affection and to cultivate her musical skills, Bach composed music for Anna Magdalena, including what would later become the French Suites. These suites were likely performed at court and reflected the couple's intimate musical companionship. The French Suites were not published during Bach's lifetime, possibly because he did not deem it challenging enough. Today, these suites offer an accessible path to Bach's music and are cherished for their stylized dance movements inspired by French and Italian forms.
