Ensembles For All (Trio version)

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.

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.

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.

For three like instruments, accompanied by piano, the piece is largely homophonic in nature. There are various phrases that are rhythmically altered for interest-active, yet sublime.
