Metro - Sax Quartet

I wrote “Garden Sonata” as the bridal march for my wedding. It was originally performed by ﬂute, clarinet, and string trio. This piece is a text book example of the classic “sonata allegro” form including a development and coda section. The piece moves through more than 4 diﬀerent keys, so the ensemble will need to work to tune the more diﬃcult keys. The piece should be played quickly and smoothly with a gentle lilt. Don’t be afraid of big dynamic contrast.

Garden Sonata

Walking man was written in the style of the great bass player and composer Charles Mingus. The piece features a driving bass line, shocking chords, and lots of improvisation. The group should practice making it as wild and free as possible. No need for sedulity here. Attention should also be made to the group improv sections. Practice playing together to make it feel natural as well as cohesive. It generally works best if everyone has a concept and plays together rather than “at each other."

In dedication to the music of Gerry Mulligan, Borrowed Time features composition by baritone saxophonist David Larsen. These compositions are fashioned in the various styles used by Gerry Mulligan during his long career as a composer and performer. Utilizing an amazing ensemble of players, this album showcases both modern and classic jazz sounds.
