Christmas Music for Saxophone Ensembles

Published October 12, 2012 | By Robert

Christmas Music for Saxophone Ensemble from SAXpress.com

It’s that time of year again. If you’re planning a holiday concert, SAXpress has a few things you might enjoy:

March of the Toys from “Babes in Toyland” by Victor Herbert for AATB or SATB Sax Quartet
Originally part of the 1903 operetta, “Babes in Toyland”, March of the Toys by Victor Herbert has become a favorite holiday concert choice.

Sandman’s Song and Evening Prayer from “Hansel and Gretel” by Engelbert Humperdinck SATB Sax Quartet
This quartet presents the “Forest Scene”, a favorite excerpt from the opera “Hansel and Gretel”. There are two parts: the “Sandman’s Song” and the “Evening Prayer”. The “Evening Prayer” (“Abengesegen”) is perhaps the best known work by composer Engelbert Humperdinck. The Evening Prayer may be played as a standalone piece.

Coventry Bells, A Christmas Meditation on Three Carols, Traditional, SAATB Sax Quintet
Three well known Christmas carols, Veni Emmanuel, the Coventry Carol, and the Ukranian Carol (Carol of the Bells) are featured in this SAATB saxophone quintet. They are presented in a variety of textures and moods.

Halleluja Chorus from “Messiah” by Handel for SAATB Sax Quintet
A holiday standard well-known and loved by audiences, this setting for sax quintet is a straightforward transcription, true to the music written by Handel, with no modern additions. For convenience it has been transposed from the original key of D major into the key of E-flat. If you would like it in the original key, please contact me.

Follow the links to hear the music and see the scores.

Free Saxophone Music on SAXpress

Published May 25, 2012 | By Robert

There are several new pieces to be added to the Free Music section this weekend. I’m starting off with the JS Bach Prelude in D minor, BWV 899.1.  Typical of Bach, the prelude is followed by a fugue or in this case a fughetta; however, the prelude is written in four voices, the fughetta is written in three. The fughetta will be uploaded this weekend too. The prelude is for SATB quartet, the fughetta is for ATB trio. It might be nice to give your soprano sax player a break.

YouTube Video for Abendlied Performance at ATL Sax Day

Published September 27, 2011 | By Robert

The 5th Annual Atlanta Saxophone Day was incredible. Met lots of nice people, played and heard lots of nice music. The guest artist was Joseph Lulloff. During the recital he played everything from J.S. Bach to Jimmy Dorsey.

The Saxophone Choir was comprised of 60 players from Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and South Carolina.  We played excerpts from “Pictures at an Exhibition”, Irish Tune from County Derry, and Abendlied. The last piece is a SAXpress arrangement. You can find the sheet music for it here: Abendlied Saxophone Sextet. Last time I made a blog post, I promised a link to a video of the performance and so here it is:

 

 

Thanks to Dr. Jan Baker, Dr. Scott Stewart, Gary Paulo and everyone else who made the 5th Annual Atlanta Saxophone Day such a terrific experience.
