Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

This saxophone quartet begins with a pensive introduction based on motives of the tune. The first statement of the hymn is in the first alto sax with gently moving harmony lines in the lower voices. The chorus is now presented by the tenor saxophone with the same flavor.

What A Friend
$9.00Scored for Saxophone quartet (A-A-T-B) with opt. Soprano for first Alto. The introduction starts with the First Alto playing a melodic motif, ever rising to a climatic point and then settling down to the theme- first presented in the First and Tenor parts weaving in and out producing a flowing texture, then joined by the Second Alto and eventually the Baritone. The chorus section of the hymn is a constant weaving of the four parts both harmonically and rhythmically. The next section becomes more active rhythmically adding tension until it settles down into a sweet aura of sound with gentle nudges of harmonic alteration. The final measures give an atmosphere of rest and solace.
