Andrea Cappellari: Sax Trios & Quartets: Saxophone Ensemble: Artist Songbook

Arranged and adapted by Andrea Cappellari. Include Compete score and intrumental parts. CD include complete recordings and minus one tracks to play along.

This book is designed to be used by beginner Xylophone and Vibraphone players. All the pieces have a limited range of note durations from eighth note to whole note together with their respective rests and they are in major and minor keys with a maximum of one accidental. This ensures a gradual introduction to the world of tuned percussion. All melodies are either classical themes or else are taken from American popular music. For all duets (Xylophone/Vibraphone) the Xylophone part is also transposed for both B Flat and E Flat instruments to enable music-making with other instrumentalists. Trios and Quartets facilitate the formation of firstpercussion ensembles.
