Content: I. Adagio molto II. Allegro con brio

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) composed this arranged Fuga (BWV 578) for church organ. Articulation and ornamentation added by the editor is placed in brackets. This arrangement for a saxophone quartet was set up for the 1999 Jugend-musiziert competition.

Thirty of the best-known Christmas carols from Germany, France, England, America and Switzerland are provided here with skilful upper parts. The less advanced saxophonist will enjoy playing the well-known melodies; the more technically adept will find their challenge in the demanding second parts. It can be Christmas for three when these lively duets are accompanied by a harmony instrument (guitar | keyboard | piano) using the chord symbols.

The easy ragtime trios are a contribution to enriching everyday musical life through motivating ensemble playing. All arrangements are kept at an easy level of difficulty.

This arrangement is based on Debussy's original composition of the same name for piano, composed in 1890.

The composition ‘Prélude, Fugue et Variation en si mineur op. 18’ presented here in the arrangement for saxophone and piano or organ is the third work of the early cycle of ‘Six piéces pour grand orgue’ written between 1860 and 1862.

Paul Desmond composed the world-famous piece in 5/4 time, which is unusual for jazz pieces. This is how the piece got its name. This score has been arranged for a saxophone quartet.

This CD contains the playbacks to ‘Uwe's Blues Collection’ (N 3970).

The aim of Let's rag... is to make ragtime music available to a large number of instrumentalists. The choice of easy-to-play keys and the shortening of the original length to a manageable two piano pages per ragtime enables players to realise these arrangements without time-consuming preparation. The advantages of the Let's rag arrangements include the simplification of the rhythmic notation by doubling the note values from 2/4 time to alla breve 4/4 time. This means that instrumentalists with less playing experience can also enjoy this lively music. An accompanying CD is available for this sheet music, which offers musicians a practical supplement (N 4900).
