A moment of calm for saxophone ensemble.
Composer : Carl Raven
Instrumentation : 1 Soprano Sax, 4 Alto Saxophones, 2 Tenor Saxophones & 1 Baritone.
Flexible parts : Part 2 transposition for 2nd soprano, Part 5 for tenor sax and alternative part 7 for baritone, allows for all combinations up to standard double quartet. An equivalent clarinet ensemble version of this title is available. The parts in both versions are numbered from 1 to 8 and correspond with the same numbered part in the other set. Parts are designed to be interchangeable between the two sets of music, allowing different combinations of single reeds to play this work.
Difficulty rating : Medium
Composed by Carl Raven, this short concert work for saxophone ensemble has at its core, a simple floating melodic line over a relaxed accompaniment. Interwoven lines are distributed around the group giving all members of the ensemble something to do.
