Saxomaphone! — a rendezvous for saxophone quartet
by Christian Erickson
Saxomaphone! is a nine-minute "rendezvous" for saxophone quartet. Combining classical and popular idioms, this accessible work charms audiences with three short movements. "Funky Foray" features a highly-syncopated funk-based melody that occasionally delves into meters of 5 and 7. "Gentle Gesture" is a quiet meditation employing Impressionist harmonies. And "Harmonious Happenstance" is an eclectic rondo that moves freely between a pompous fanfare, a jazz waltz, and a squeaky four-part fugue. Parts are available as a free download at Lulu.com or can be downloaded directly. Duration: ca. 10 minutes.
