Arranger’s Note
I
arranged this piece many years ago for the
Mistral Saxophone Quartet and it has languished
in a drawer for so long that I almost forgot
about it. It was one of many arrangements I made
at that time when the repertoire for saxophone
quartet was very limited.
It’s a jaunty little piece, originally for piano,
and still a popular concert item – often used as
an encore. I’ve tried to distribute the interest
around the players: the trick is to blend as much
as possible in the legato passages – the honky
sounds are deliberate, so have some fun!
