This saxophone arrangement of As The Deer is a gentle interplay of parts and gives the sensation of a constant flowing steam of water that offers a background for quiet reflection. Tenor sax opt for Alto 3.

An accompanied saxophone (A-A-A/T) trio beginning with a piano introduction. The first section is a blocked harmony in the saxes with the first carrying the melody. The second section uses the same underlying rhythmic patterns but now the structure is in a different meter (quadruple vs the previous triple) which gives an extended feeling. A couple modulations take place and the style becomes smooth and expressive. This all leads towards the Coda where the whole premise shifts the moods of the beginning where it increases in tension and ends with solid impact.

This trio begins with a joyful piano introduction which leads into a three part harmonization of the instrumental parts. The second section is a lilting (waltz feeling) in block harmonization and then goes into a bell-tone rendition of the tune. A brief transition in a slower, expressive style comes to repose where it concludes in the joyful style that the piece began.

A saxophone trio with piano accompaniment that is gentle smoothly moving that carries a lyrical flavor throughout. On occasion there are brief alterations of the melody to add variety and movement. A good piece for tender moments.

This trio begins with a simple rendition of the melody supported by the lower voices and then goes into light imitation of the melodic motifs. The second statement passes the tune around the parts with brief embellishment by the remaining parts and then concludes on a strong chord with piano under-pining.

After a short piano introduction, the first part introduces the tune as a solo and then joined in with the others parts as decorations leading up to traditional harmonic movement. The second section alternates between parts in a duet fashion and then breaks into a full trio presentation. With a final flourish the pieces concludes.

This saxophone trio begins with a delightful moving motive in the piano to be joined with the first part, then a duet with part two and then a trio with all three parts. The next section is solemn as the piano drops out and then all join in for an active presentation. The last section begins the theme in the third part with some imitation from part two until the first part takes over the theme and continues in this manner. The coda is simple giving a sense of peace.
