  Same piece arranged for brass quintet. The tango is just a little over a hundred years old, so it seems fitting that we should celebrate by offering one here. This piece starts simply enough, beginning with a very standard tango opening in unison. The baritone and tenor saxes then begin the bass line, and the two altos and the soprano come in with a simple melody over the top. For the B section, the three upper voices break into parts in flowing harmony over the bass line. The transition features the second alto on a high melody, with the first alto and the soprano playing a little latin-sounding answer over the top. The B section repeats, then the A section, and we're done. This piece is written for Bb soprano saxophone, two Eb alto saxophones, Bb tenor saxophone, and Eb baritone saxophone. There are no alternate parts if you do not have that voicing, but you can always use a clarinet to cover the soprano sax part. MP3 sound sample: entire piece (synthesizer/midi). TANGO by Tom Kirkland for sax quintet consisting of one Bb soprano sax, two Eb alto saxes, one Bb tenor sax, and one Eb baritone sax, comes in a pdf file of 1050K, with a seven-page score, five two-page parts, and a license page, eighteen pages in all. Performance time should be just under three minutes. |
| WE SEEK RECORDINGS TO USE AS DEMOS The majority of our sheet music pieces use electronically-produced demos on the item pages. We would much prefer to use actual recordings, so if you email us a digital recording or link to an online video and we end up using it as a demo on our site (fully credited), we will send you a coupon code good for US$25 toward your next purchase from our site. BLANKET RECORDING POLICY FOR SHEET MUSIC Many of our sheet music licenses state that the purchaser does not have the right to record the work. We have modified our policy on this, and unless the license page states that you must obtain permission from a party other than www.tributek.com to record the work, we will allow a small number (less than 50) of copies of an audio or video recording of a live performance to be made and distributed and/or posted to a free web site for viewing/listening, so long as www.tributek.com, the composer, arranger, and lyricist are credited.

I require the music for a wedding in a couple of weeks, and didn't want to wait for music to be sent in the mail. It was great to be able to hear the music and to know the length of the PDF file and performance time." Another customer writes: "I bought some choral music off your site. It's great. I hope we can do all of it in our church. I don't know how you can sell it so cheap. It's a great service you offer."
