Product Description
Three numbers in popular style for two
alto saxes and piano (or alto and tenor) with optional part for guitar and/or
bass.
These
pieces are in jazz and Latin styles and are intended for intermediate students.
Theyre ideal for an end-of-term concert or recital but would be useful for
any festive occasion or celebration. The 13-page
piano score also includes the saxophone parts. The highest note in the 1st
sax part is (written) C6 and that in the 2nd sax part is A6. Both
parts avoid low D and C. Five-page parts for the two E flat alto saxophones are
provided as well as an optional part for tenor sax, which is exactly the same
part as the 2nd saxophone. In the piano parts the improvisation
chords are shown only in the 1st alto part purely for the sake of
visual tidiness, but they appear in
all the saxophone parts so that any
participant can offer an improvised solo. The guitar and bass parts are
combined and the bass part is similar to the left hand of the piano part. All
five parts are presented in a single PDF file.
An MP3 file of all the piano accompaniments is also
available as a separate item. You can find it here: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/20679812
