A Quiet Place

Take 6, the american a cappella vocal group, formed in the 1980s.They soon gained critical acclaim and a succession of albums were released. They have worked with some of the biggest names in pop music, R&B and jazz and are still performing today. 

A Quiet Place was written my Ralph Carmichael in 1967 but the 1988 recording by Take 6 is the most well loved version of this song.

This quartet arrangement is scored for two alto saxes, tenor and baritone. In order to bring Take 6's beautiful setting of Ralph Carmichael's music & lyrics to life, all four players will need to capitalise on the vocal fluidity of the saxophone sound. 

the lyrics (listed below) will give performers an indication of the atmosphere they are looking to create.

There is a quiet place

Far from the rapid pace

Where God can soothe my troubled mind

Sheltered by tree and flower

There in my quiet hour

With Him my cares are left behind

Whether a garden small

Or on a mountain tall

New strength and courage there I find 

Then from this quiet place

I go prepared to face

A new day with love for all mankind

Enjoy!
