Hey folks. I don't consider myself an 'arranger' really, but I have arranged a few things for our sax quartet recently. Recently, I arranged a pretty tough (and beautiful) string quartet for saxophone (SATB) that is kinda beyond our current Sax quartet lineup (well, it's also not really something that a typical sax quartet would play as it'd probably put the audience to sleep so we haven't had the interest to work on the individual parts...
).
The piece is Dvorak's String Quartet 8, op. 106, 2nd movement: Adagio ma non troppo.
I have an electronic sax that allows me to record my arrangements and after recording this one, I was kinda proud of it so I wanted to share it here.
Anyway, I've uploaded the part here and if there's any classical oriented sax quartet out there that want's to play it (and could record it), I'd love to hear it... or hear any comments about it in general. (and yeah it's long and rather boring for a sax quartet piece... not boring to play IMO, but probably boring for a sax quartet audience).
I arranged this from the original string score so that's why it's written in 3/8 (it'd probably be easier to read in 3/4.. but anyway).
