a rendezvous for saxophone quartet
By Christian Erickson
Saxomaphone! is a nine-minute "rendezvous" for saxophone quartet. Combining classical and popular idioms, this accessible work charms audiences with three short movements.
"Funky Foray" features a highly-syncopated funk-based melody that occasionally delves into meters of 5 and 7. "Gentle Gesture" is a quiet meditation employing Impressionist harmonies. And "Harmonious Happenstance" is an eclectic rondo that moves freely between a pompous fanfare, a jazz waltz, and a squeaky four-part fugue.
This edition is an 8.5" x 11" conductor/study score. Parts are available as a free digital download or from the publisher on request.
