The Moldau - Symphonic Poem: Adapted for Saxophone Quartet SATB/AATB. This arrangement has been thoughtfully tailored for an intermediate-level saxophone quartet, providing versatility with options for SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone) or AATB (Alto in place of Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone) configurations. The adaptation retains the lyrical and flowing qualities of Smetana's original composition, which famously depicts the journey of the Vltava River through Bohemia. The arrangement is designed to evoke the same sense of movement and imagery, making it a compelling and enjoyable piece for both performers and audiences. The duration of this arrangement is approximately 4 minutes, offering a succinct yet comprehensive exploration of the original work. This makes it highly suitable for a variety of performance contexts, including concerts, educational settings, and ensemble practice sessions. It's important to note that the full SCORE for this arrangement is available separately as part of a series. The individual parts in this set allow each musician to focus on their role within the ensemble, while the complete score provides an overarching view of the quartet arrangement, beneficial for conductors and ensemble leaders. This adaptation of "The Moldau" for saxophone quartet not only challenges intermediate players but also adds a distinctive piece to the repertoire, perfect for those looking to delve into classical music arrangements and expand their ensemble's musical range.

Gateways to Understanding Music explores music in all the categories that constitute contemporary musical experience: European classical music, popular music, jazz, and world music. Covering the oldest forms of human music making to the newest, the chronological narrative considers music from a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective. Each of sixty modular "gateways" covers a particular genre, style, or period of music. Every gateway opens with a guided listening example that unlocks a world of music through careful study of its structural elements. Based on their listening experience, students are asked to consider how the piece came to be composed or performed, how the piece or performance responded to the social and cultural issues at the time and place of its creation, and what that music means today. Students learn to listen to, explain, understand, and ultimately value all the music they may encounter in their world. FEATURES Global scope—Presents all music as worthy of study, including classical, world, popular, and jazz. Historical narrative—Begins with small-scale forager societies up to the present, with a shifting focus from global to European to American influences. Modular framework—60 gateways in 14 chapters allow flexibility to organize chronologically or by the seven recurring themes: aesthetics, emotion, social life, links to culture, politics, economics, and technology. Listening-guided learning—Leads to understanding the emotion, meaning, significance, and history of music. Introduction of musical concepts—Defined as needed and compiled into a Glossary for reference. Consistent structure—With the same step-by-step format, students learn through repeated practice how to listen and how to think about music.
