today in sax rehearsal

Teacher: Tenors, what the hell are you doing?

Tenors, sitting down: Tapping the beat with our feet?

Teacher: I'm aware, but you guys are so off tempo and out of sync with each other it looks like *starts laughing*

Tenors:

Teacher: *starts fucking galloping*

OKAY, SO, I’M EXCITED! So, Kyle, the guy who leads sax ensemble, said that Mason had been requesting a video game song for a while, and asked for recommendations. I requested Xenoblade Chronicles because it has a kicking soundtrack. But, then I realized, I don’t think you can play that music on just one soprano sax, five alto saxes, three tenor saxes, and two bari saxes. I realized that after requesting the song Tragic Decisions, and Kyle was like “remember it has to fit in a sax ensemble setting.” Then I got really embarrassed and thought about my mistake until two a.m. Wow, this post went downhill fast.

We had a great Sax Ensemble concert tonight! This has been one of the best ensemble experiences I have ever had :) can't wait to see what next semester brings!

The Windcatcher Part Two - Philip Glass

This was orginally written for Flute and Piano for an uncompleted short film, later transcribed for Saxophone Sextet by Nico Muhly.  It is scored for two Sopranos, one Alto, two tenors, and one Bari.
