Quartet #1 In Three Movements, for 4 saxophones (SATBar), Score and parts

Commissioned by The Apollo Saxophone Quartet of Manchester, England, highlights in this contemporary, concert 'opus' include several short, exposed solos for all, a full-length alto cadenza near the end of the slow second movement, and a fast-paced finale for an unforgettable finish. Drawing from his vast experience as a performing artist, Mintzer's writing for saxophones is truly idiomatic and wonderfully adventurous.
