Winter Pastoral for Saxophone Quartet

From the Publisher

Winter Pastoral for sax quartet, score 4 p. and parts. To get an idea of how this transcription sounds, you can listen to the audio sample. Composed in 1925, and while departing from the usual pastoral style, Winter Pastoral depicts a cold winter morning, in a peaceful atmosphere with snow falling from the trees. Virtuosity is not the hallmark of this piece, but its challenge lies in its delicate interplay of dissonant and traditional harmonies.

Performance duration (approx): 2'25
