Performance Notes: 

This piece is very straight forward but has an unusual pedagogy component for the Alto Saxophones in particular. The teacher will introduce “alternate“ fingerings for the Alto Sax which are necessary in the performance of this piece. If no Oboe is available, have the Flute cover that part since it is rather important in the harmony. The chord progression is made available in the Bell part. A condensed score is included authorized to copy for festival.

Performance Level:  Grade 0.5
