Composed by Traditional Scottish. Arranged by James Pybus. Christmas,Folk,Holiday,Standards,Traditional. 10 pages. James Pybus #754230. Published by James Pybus (A0.1153960).Auld Lang Syne is a popular song, particularly in the English-speaking world. Traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. By extension, it is also often heard at funerals, graduations, retirements, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to a traditional tune, which has since become standard. The poem's Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since" or, less literally, "long long ago", "days gone by", "times long past", or "old times". Consequently, "for auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times". This SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet arrangement gives each player an opportunity to play the melody. It is suitable for a wide variety of concerts, performance settings, or other occasions. The duration is 1:50. Contact me at james.pybus56@gmail.com.
