In A Sentimental Mood
Duke Ellington------------------------------------------5 mins
SATB

A dreamy start hands over the tune to solo baritone sax. The first half retains this gentle mood with the sax section making the most of Ellington’s rich harmonies. The second half switches to a faster swing feel with a soli-like passage followed by solos from tenor 1 and the soprano - both optional ad lib. [Arranged by Adrian Budgen]

Three Hornpipes, a Reel and a Morris Dance
Traditional----------------------------------------------5 mins

This is a a fairly straightforward arrangement of a number traditional English fiddle tunes: King of the Fairies, Constant Billy, The Fairy Dance, Morpeth Rant and The Trumpet Hornpipe. The challenge in this piece is to keep the energy going as each tune moves the pace on - much in the style of a cèilidh or barn dance. [Arranged by Adrian Budgen]

If Only

SATTB

The dreamy opening theme drifts through some primary harmonic colours. A L'istesso tempo funky middle section contrasts with this where the marking in Sop 1 is 'wild!'. The opening dream returns at the end - a classic ABA structure. This is also available as a sax quartet and sax octet.

Sleepers, Wake! - the well known and attractive tune in a simple arrangement for saxes. Good as a breather (for player and audience alike!) when placed alongside more challenging repertoire. [Arranged by Adrian Budgen]
