Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.891862 Composed by Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. Arranged by Stephen Davies. Concert. 24 pages. Stephen Davies #3465714. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891862). I was blown away when I recently heard this for the first time, I've also become a fan of the music of Johann Georg Albrechtsberger! This particular piece can almost be described as 'Baroque Jazz', the level of counterpoint achieved is truly stunning, in fact as I was piecing this arrangement together from an ancient Organ score, you could almost tell what the man was thinking, which kind of makes musical analysis fun,(or not!!) It has it all! Do have a look at JGA's bio on Wiki, its mildly interesting, enjoy the music!

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.891935 Composed by Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. Arranged by Stephen Davies. Classical,Standards. 63 pages. Stephen Davies #5310999. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891935). The Austrian composer Johann Georg Albrechtsberger was an organist, teacher and theorist, indeed one of his many influential pupils was a certain Ludwig Van Beethoven. His own musical works were and still are a tour-de-force and widely recorded. In fact his Alto Trombone Concerto is very much a part of the repertoire for that instrument. He also wrote, what might be today regarded as quite strange, no less than 7 Concerti for the Jaws Harp and String Orchestra. (Youtube) In this Saxophone version the music is scored, unusually, for 3 equal Soprano Saxes AND Tenor Sax. The 5 pieces here are representitive of his masterly fugal output, tweaked here and there to suit this rare Saxophone Quartet format! Five Mighty Meaty Morsels, suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians alike!! (Although every care has been taken, some E#'s may remain!)

Stephen Davies #3465490. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891840). Here's another wonderfully crafted fugue by Albrechtsberger, relentless melodic lines skillfully intertwining with each other, precise and scrupulously exacting staccato passages, with every note slotting into place beautifully!! Scored here for 2 Alto's, Tenor & Baritone, I'm sure this would sound tremendous in a generous acoustic! (Clarinet version available here too).
