Count Your Blessings
This unaccompanied saxophone quartet, AAAT, is based on a traditional hymn tune. The arrangement is from the teaching files of Monty Budahl and is useful for vesper, offertory, and special. This bright arrangement of the hymn tune has proved to be very accessible and popular as a first quartet. There is a four page score and an individual part for each player.
The arrangement is in a traditional ABA form with a bright A section contrasted by a lilting B ection with almost a feel of one beat per measure. The arrangement returns to the bright A section which builds to the climatic ending. -

Count Your Many Blessings
Four Plus Brass Series- for two Trumpets and two Trombones (with opt. Horn and Tuba for color). Beginning with a tempo and style of vitality the introduction uses motivic repetitions until the trombones establish the tune with trumpet counterpoint. The rest of the whole first section is an exchange of thematic motives amongst the parts. With a modulation the trumpets present a little duet with the trombones adding brief flourishes. The final section again presents melodic motives passed around the various voices and then slows to a strong conclusion.
