The Banks of Green Willow
SKU: SM-S178F
£14.95George Butterworth ~ Arranged by Melanie Thorne
This is an arrangement of the famous orchestral Rhapsody by George Butterworth. The original work was based on a folk song collected at Billingshurst in Sussex in 1907, and the Rhapsody was composed between 1911-1913, just prior to the First World War, when Butterworth was killed in action in 1916. This saxophone arrangement gives the instruments solo opportunities, yet the fuller textures reveal more complex harmonies, which are well-suited to these instruments. (Grade 7-8)

The Eventual Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
SKU: SM-S179E
£10.95G F Handel ~ arranged by Melanie Thorne
This is an arrangement of the famous ‘Entrance of the Queen of Sheba’ from Solomon. It is not always faithful to the original as it is not just a transcription and has been slightly shortened to make it playable for wind instruments. The 4th part also gives the work a sense of direction through the varying bass line, and provides interest, rather than just harmonic support, for the baritone player. (Grade 7-8)

Toccata in G, BWV 916 1st Movt
SKU: SM-S176E
£10.95J.S. Bach ~ arranged by Melanie Thorne
Unlike the other keyboard Toccatas, BWV 916 is clearly in 3 movements and the first movement is an ideal opener for concerts. It alternates ritornello and tutti sections, and this arrangement (not totally a transcription) works well for the saxophone ensemble. Although there are some passages that are not identical to the original, the harmonic profile of the original has been retained. (Grade 6-8) [SATB]
