Count Your Blessings
$9.95
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.
