Grade 3/4 with Sax Solo

Posted by 3C MS Band Director on 12/4/2022, 9:11 pm

Hello!

I am searching for a UIL grade 3/easier grade 4 that has an Alto Sax solo in it. Not really interested in cajun folk songs. But if you know of any others, I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

As a sax player myself, gotta second this one. I'd even say it might be a bit more fun to play than Cajun Folk Songs.

Is Adagio for Winds still on the list?

An oldie, but goodie! Introduction and Fantasia by Rex Mitchell.

It's not on the PML.

Also, not great for middle schools. And Mitchell tends to write in the extremes. His timbre palette it pretty tough.

It was on the PML, and would be pretty easy to get a variance for it, citing "Was on the PML until 20XX." It's not as if it was overplayed either.

Fantastic piece, deserves more love.
