8:12 to the end is my favorite part

[@yttreblemaker]

Very nice arrangement! The only thing that I might object to, as a baritone sax player, is the fact that you've glued the bari part to the real bari part in the original. It should, in fact, be a copy of the bass part, because (1) playing the bari up that high for almost 60% of the piece makes it invisible behind the tenor sax part. (2) in the whole arrangement, there's no bottom end. No real "Bass line". (3) Very little, if any, use of the lower range of the bari. The low A, Bb, B, C, D are real kick starters, and that's where the bari line should be. If you're going to arrange it SATB instead of AATB, then use the bari to it's fullest range. I hope this makes sense.

Yes, that does make sense. I uploaded this way before I should have, because since then I've made millions of improvements, including making use of the range of the Bari.

I would love to hear the "finished product". Heard your other arrangements. Great work on Lincolnshire Posy and the V. Williams.

Are you on Facebook? I also do a lot of arranging - would like to compare notes.

Meravigliosa

[@VinnyG6053]

I love the part that has saxophone

[@wesleymatteson7183]

Where can I get a copy of this music?

[@Clarisaxx22]

The 2nd movement is supposed to be in F minor not Eb major or C minor

[@james_subosits]

It's in F dorian

[@gracev5288]

It is in F minor. Saxophones just have transpositions done in order to sound like F minor they have to read music in Eb major (or C minor) for tenor and soprano and then F major or D minor I think anyway for alto and bari.

[@jetsettech8804]

I feel like the soprano's part at measure 46 should've gone to the tenor seeing as in the original the euphonium has that part.

[@thwompchild8474]

Or it could have just been alto

[@meamcomorod]

Composers like sopranos too much

[@goodfella9264]

my only stuggle is finding witch line is alto

[@afribean3315]

dope_mally second line

[@natekyngcole]

1st line is Soprano
2nd line is Alto
3rd line is Tenor
4th line is Bari

[@jetsettech8804]

Key signature should tell you that. E flat instruments have more sharps than B flats
