Quintessence I and II

Description Two saxophone quintets in a rich jazz ballad style. Using the standard jazz band line up of 2 alto, 2 tenor and 1 baritone sax, these pieces explore the lush chord voicings that only such a close knit group of instruments can create. Although slow, these pieces explore the whole range of all instruments, and pass through some fairly expterem keys (C#/F# major at one point) making them more of a challenge for advanced players of grade 7 upwards.
