{"product_id":"howling-at-the-moon-saxophone-quartet","title":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes — Howling at the Moon — Saxophone Quartet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis dark and expressive saxophone quartet fuses music suggestive of different traditions, from Japanese Taiko drumming to African-American gospel singing. The work's title is vividly portrayed in the first movement, which calls for the saxes to do some real wailing! (duration – 12:20)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This expressive quartet for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones was commissioned by the Harmo Saxophone Quartet of Tokyo and is a significant contribution to the repertoire. Blending technical demands with expressive gestures, this three-movement work begins with an episode called Wailing. It has frantic chromatic sweeps that are passed between players and are interrupted by slap-tonguing and pointillistic and fragmented phrases. The slower middle section uses a gospel song style and final frenzied section includes rhythmic vocal sounds and fragmented melodies in triple meter.”--\u003ci\u003eThe Instrumentalist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoicing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Score \u0026amp; Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saxophone Quartet - Score \u0026amp; Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windependence Chamber Ensemble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.0 × 9.0 × 0.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoosey \u0026amp; Hawkes — historic British publisher of Stravinsky, Britten, Copland, Bernstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthorized dealer.
