Quartet #3 Woodwind Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.584662

This composition begins with a 12/8 rock tempo. Although it is written in C, the composition is begins in D Minor. The Bari Sax keeps the 12/8 going while the other three saxes become punctuations. The punctuation continues while the Soprano Sax plays the melody. At measure 15 the song moves into a 6/8 feel. At measure 34 the song returns to the original 12/8 feel. The composition then splits to where the Tenor Sax takes on harmony in the 12/8 feel while the Soprano and Alto Saxes take on a 6/8 countermelody. A short bridge is created by stacking the other 2 saxes on top of the Tenor and Bari 12/8 feel. Then it splits again to where the Alto stays with the Tenor and Bari pattern and the Soprano Sax goes off on it's own. During this time the Soprano folds in the 6/8 melody, creating a pleasant conflict. The song D.C.'s to the original 12/8 content.  Hear the full version of composition on Jeff Tincher's "For Saxophone Quartet" CD. Duration = 6:14.
