Saxophone Quartet: The Moldau (set of parts): intermediate/advanced level

By Bedřich Smetana

The Moldau - Symphonic Poem: Adapted for Saxophone Quartet SATB/AATB. This arrangement has been thoughtfully tailored for an intermediate-level saxophone quartet, providing versatility with options for SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone) or AATB (Alto in place of Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone) configurations.
The adaptation retains the lyrical and flowing qualities of Smetana's original composition, which famously depicts the journey of the Vltava River through Bohemia. The arrangement is designed to evoke the same sense of movement and imagery, making it a compelling and enjoyable piece for both performers and audiences.
The duration of this arrangement is approximately 4 minutes, offering a succinct yet comprehensive exploration of the original work. This makes it highly suitable for a variety of performance contexts, including concerts, educational settings, and ensemble practice sessions.
It's important to note that the full SCORE for this arrangement is available separately as part of a series. The individual parts in this set allow each musician to focus on their role within the ensemble, while the complete score provides an overarching view of the quartet arrangement, beneficial for conductors and ensemble leaders.
This adaptation of "The Moldau" for saxophone quartet not only challenges intermediate players but also adds a distinctive piece to the repertoire, perfect for those looking to delve into classical music arrangements and expand their ensemble's musical range.
