Saxophone Quartet by Jon Welch (AATB or ATTB)
This is a fast samba with a very catchy tune that features an interlocking bass line performed by the baritone and tenor saxes, a harmonically flexible solo in the alto sax and some fine ensemble sections. The textures range from just melody and bass line to the same with an added counter melody, a completely harmonized melody and even four part polyphony in the final chorus. Watch out for the 3/4 bars and the interludes which come up on you quickly. Play the dynamics as well and you've got a flashy and great sounding feature for your quartet! Grade: 4 (4:34).
