Saxophone quartet transcription by Florent Louman Founded in 2015, the Zahir Quartet aims to evolve the saxophone quartet genre. Whether interpreting original repertoire or transcribing chamber music for their formation, the four saxophonists of the quartet demonstrate their curiosity and creativity.
Originally composed for string quartet, Florence Price?s (1887?1953) Five Folksongs in Counterpoint demonstrate the composer?s unique ability to blend the richness of classical counterpoint with melodies drawn from the American folk tradition. In this arrangement for saxophone quartet, three of these pieces (Oh My Darlin? Clementine, Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes and Shortnin? Bread) reveal the full subtlety and vitality of her writing. Here, the American composer deploys a refined harmonic language, in which each voice retains its independence whilst contributing to a supple and expressive overall texture. The melancholic tenderness of Oh My Darlin? Clementine, the lyrical elegance of Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes and the rhythmic energy of Shortnin? Bread form a triptych that is both sophisticated and accessible, reflecting the fruitful dialogue between folk heritage and classical tradition that runs through the entire body of Florence Price?s work.
