Quartet Concerto for SATB Saxophone Quartet and Wind Ensemble [Alf:36-B394001]

Walter S. Hartley, whose works for saxophone and low brass significantly expanded the repertoire available for those instruments, wrote the QUARTET CONCERTO for SATB saxophones in 1992 for a commission by the Atlanta Saxophone Quartet for a premiere with the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra. In four movements, the soli players are treated as a composite unit pitted againt the orchestra, somewhat as in the Baroque concerto grosso. The harmonic style is freely tonal. A version with orchestra accompaniment is available from Edwin F. Kalmus, and versions with wind ensemble or piano accompaniment are available from LudwigMasters Publications.
