Need help. Looking for a Sax ensemble recommendation

Posted by Saxnovice on 11/14/2019, 3:12 pm

Looking for a recommendation for a sax ensemble for a great group of mostly 8th grade players. Don't want anything too easy but not too hard either. Anyone have recommendations?

The handel mentioned before is good. Also Saxafrass or Rondolette by Lennie Niehaus-they're both grade 2 on the pml but students seem to like them.

Allegro from concerto grosso by Handel. Decent arrangement!

For UIL or non-competitive performance?

If you’re open to the idea of playing something new that’s written specifically to fit their strengths and weaknesses, I’d like to offer to compose or arrange something for you (pro bono). I’m a saxophone player myself attending college - I write for a hobby, and I love the challenge of writing for younger players.

Shoot me an email if you’re interested - brockallen@bloo-rock.com

Please do.

Please write a variety of saxophone ensembles and submit them to the PML. Especially write some that are at the UIL Grade 3 level for an ensemble. The number of new pieces added to the S&E list is terrible, and apparently no one ever submits.
