Product Description

A wistful quartet for four same-key saxophones based on the Stephen Foster classic, Beautiful Dreamer is a deceptively challenging little piece in which the four performers must shift their role in the ensemble measure-by-measure. The melodic line and accompaniment are bounced around between performers, each saxophonist occasionally playing only a fragment of the melody at a time. The traditional melody remains largely intact, with some ornamentation, and a more modern realization of the harmony. Given the limited pitch range of a quartet of this nature, there are some lovely close-knit harmonies reminiscent of a barbershop quartet, or a music box, which lends itself to great teachable moments for tuning and intonation. 

This piece can be performed by any quartet of key-homogenous saxophones, but assumes a four-alto setup. It includes an optional Bb Tenor Saxophone part to replace the lowest alto, for use in a school lesson group setting.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
