Simple Gifts ('Tis the Gift to Be Simple), an American Shaker Song, written in 1848 and attributed to Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr. of Alfred, Maine, would be a great addition to any music library. The song was largely unknown outside Shaker communities until Aaron Copland used its melody for the score of Martha Graham's ballet, Appalachian Spring, first performed in 1944. Simple Gifts has now been arranged for an Alto Saxophone Octet by Regis Bookshar. It is suitable for high school and college students, and, depending upon their ability, even elementary school students. Professional musicians would also enjoy playing this selection.

Saxophone Ensemble,Woodwind Ensemble Soprano Saxophone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.564094 By Queen. By Freddie Mercury. Arranged by Austin Ralphson. Film/TV,Rock. 56 pages. Austin Ralphson #6096983. Published by Austin Ralphson (A0.564094). Bohemian Rhapsody is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 studio album A Night at the Opera. It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda. The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre and was the most expensive single ever made at the time of its release. I have arranged it here for sax ensemble with optional drum kit, and kept it true to the original version.

Saxophone Ensemble,Woodwind Ensemble Bass Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1284437 By Bing Crosby. By Irving Berlin. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Christmas,Film/TV,Holiday,Jazz. 18 pages. John Ivor Holland #875608. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1284437). The song that would become White Christmas was conceived by Irving Berlin on the set of the film 'Top Hat' in 1935. He hummed the melody to Fred Astaire and the film's director Mark Sandrich as a song possibility for a future Astaire-Ginger Rogers vehicle. Astaire loved the tune, but Sandrich passed on it. Although White Christmas has become iconic, this was not the original intention. The song Be Careful, It's My Heart, played during the Valentine's Day section of the film 'Holiday Inn', was originally intended to be a bigger hit when production commenced. The success of the song eventually led to another film based on it, 'White Christmas' (1954), which starred Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen. It was an extremely loose remake of 'Holiday Inn', with a similar plot. This arrangement for saxophone choir features all the warm melody and rich harmonies of the original, with nods to another carol along the way.

Nigel Bennett #794897. Published by Nigel Bennett (A0.1195726). This 1977 song by Kander and Ebb was the theme to the Martin Scorsese film 'New York, New York' and originally sung by Lisa Minelli, although it was Frank Sinatra's recording of it in 1979 that secured its fame. This arrangement for saxophone sextet (SAATTB) is by Nigel Bennett.

Percussion Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1385866 By Snarky Puppy. By Michael Kelly Rea League. Arranged by Ryan Russo. Funk,Jazz. 88 pages. Ryan Russo #969806. Published by Ryan Russo (A0.1385866). Shofukan, a captivating creation by Michael League of Snarky Puppy, translates roughly to wind through the trees or bird's eye view in Japanese. This 18-piece percussion ensemble arrangement captures the absolutely awesome energy of the piece. The piece is a modern jazz & funk fusion song that explores some very unique harmonic choices. This piece also offers solo opportunities for mallet instruments as well as a drumset solo.
