Saxophone Quartet, Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone - Level 3 - Digital Download
Magnetic Rag (1914) by Scott Joplin arranged for Saxophone Quartet SATB. This was the last rag Joplin published, three years before his death in 1917. It is somewhat unique in form and in some of the musical techniques employed in the composition. The form is cyclic: that is, the opening melody is revisited at the end of the piece. Also unusual for Joplin's work is the venture into minor keys. This piece is a product of Joplin’s “experimental” period when he attempted to fuse ragtime with elements of classical music.
With this arrangement you get:
This arrangement of Magnetic Rag is in the original keys (B flat Major/G minor/B flat Minor). In common time throughout. Tempo marking is "Allegretto non troppo" - a little fast but not too much. Typical ragtime syncopations throughout. Moderately wide range for all players (the alto sub for soprano part extends into the altissimo range). SATB version is grade 4 - 4.5. Moderately advanced players will be successful with this piece.
