2017 Holiday Contest Entry
This arrangement of seven traditional Christmas favorites for saxophone quartet will make your heart joyful as you prepare for the Christmas season! The first part can be played on either soprano or alto saxophone, and the other three parts are for alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone. The melody moves around from instrument to instrument in a conversation-like way, with rich harmonies and beautiful descants enhancing the melodies. The medley begins triumphantly in the key of concert F Major, moves soulfully to the parallel minor, then finishes brightly back in F Major.
Christmas carols featured are:
· Joy to the World
· Good King Wenceslas
· We Wish You a Merry Christmas
· Deck the Halls
· God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
· What Child is This?
· Ding Dong Merrily on High
I hope you will enjoy performing this medley as much as I have enjoyed arranging it! Audiences are sure to love it. This would work well in a variety of venues during the Christmas season: school concert, church, shopping mall background music, chamber music concert, prelude to a choral performance/ carol sing-along, etc. It’s perfect for anywhere you want to lift people’s spirits with beautiful, familiar seasonal music.
There are also versions of this medley available for brass quintet, woodwind quintet, flute choir, clarinet choir, string quartet, and piano.
