Saxophone Trio,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.582122 Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by John Gibson. 20th Century,Celtic,Folk,Irish. 16 pages. JB Linear #5755449. Published by JB Linear (A0.582122). Gustav Holst is well known by wind players for his sparkling pieces for wind band. In those he used English folk tunes or tunes he composed having a folk flavor. This piece set by John Gibson for saxophone trio comes from Holst's Toccata for piano based upon the Northumbrian song Newburn Lads. It is 2 minutes long, so one entertaining idea would be to play it slowly first and then increase the tempo each time. This setting can be played by three saxes of the same key, ie. 3 altos, 3 tenors, etc.
