Product Description
A jazz reharm and elaboration of "Das alte Jahr vergangen ist" ("The old year now hath passed away", BWV 288), a meditative and grateful chorale with a fascinating chromatic accompaniment that evokes a passed year full of challenges and troubles, all resolved in the end; here arranged for four Saxophones (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone) and Piano. I've added to the Piano rich harmonical parts and a distant counter chant with Red Garland's chords to evoke a mysterious old-fashioned scenario, like the reminiscent soundtrack of an old black and white movie, while the original Chorale is assigned to the Saxophones.
Duration: 53".
Score and parts also available on this website.
Also available for Wind Octet, Saxophone Octet, String Octet, Flute Octet, Brass Octet, Low String Octet, Saxophone Octet with Bass, Woodwind Octet, Clarinet Octet.
