By Grant Horsley. By Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Grant Horsley. Contemporary,Instructional,Jazz,Pop,Standards. Score and parts. 26 pages. Grant Horsley #5982875. Published by Grant Horsley (A0.785726).Beethoven's famous Moonlight Sonata (1st mvt) has been given a new treatment here for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and Piano. I have arranged it in concert D minor from the original C sharp minor to make it more user friendly. It sits it a steady 2/2 time It has been given an almost rhythmic ostinato in the piano to give it a modern twist. Some areas revert back to the classical nature of the original for variety within. The range of the saxophones is roughly 2 octaves and the tenor has slightly more work than the alto. It has a large dynamic range and is 4 minutes in length.
I have listed it as Intermediate but the youtube clip gives you the full score so you can assess the suitability. Its is intended as a classical crossover showpiece for concerts, recitals, contests or simply something different to add to the repertoire. Price is for the full score and all parts. THE PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT TRACK IS AVAILABLE ON MP3.
