El Gato Montes, Paso Doble Torero Manuel Penella arranged for saxophone quintet This transcription is for saxophone quintet (SAATB or AAATB). Lively Spanish rhythms, a moderate allegro tempo (q = 104-112), semi-independent parts, and a moderate range make this a challenging but achievable piece for intermediate sax players.  The brief length (under 3 minutes taking all repeats), simple time signature (2/4 throughout) and manageable key signature (G minor throughout) will contribute to your players' success. After a unison fanfare introduction, the Soprano or Alto alternate takes the lead throughout but the supporting parts are featured in countermelodies and rhythmic figures. The Baritone provides a classic passo doble bass line as the foundation.The following parts are included with this arrangement: Soprano Sax Alto Sax A, soprano sax double Alto Sax 1 Alto Sax 2 Tenor Sax Baritone Sax Spanish composer Manuel Penella (1880-1939) wrote much for the stage including opera and zarzuela (Spanish musical theater).

Your audience will be shouting “OLE†and throwing their hats into the air when you play this lively pasodoble!
