Autumn in New York
One of the famous "Hollywood Saxophone Quartet" arrangements. One of our most requested.
arr. Lennie Niehaus
Prelude and Beguine (1954)
"A Modern Styling for Saxophone Quartet" - We call these old pieces "dollar bin" charts, and we have a ton of them. Don usually transposes the 1st alto part to soprano, since most quartets were AATB back then. This one is really catchy!
Victor Williams
(Carl Fischer)
Les Buffons
From Paul Harvey's collection of Renaissance music. Recorded in concert at SMU in 1987.
ed. Paul Harvey (Chester)
This Can't Be Love
Another Hollywood Saxophone Quartet chart. Swings hard!
arr. Lennie Niehaus
A Study in Contrasts
Another old classic. We had a tradition of always playing this as the second tune on every gig. Dunno why.
Sammy Nestico (Kendor)
Le Coucou
Also from Paul Harvey's Renaissance collection.
Louis Claude Daquin, ed. Paul Harvey (Chester)
Under the Double Eagle
A classic march, made harder than it should be.

Quatour Pierre Max Dubois (Leduc)
Overture in Bb

Handel, arr. Schmidt
(WIM Inc.)
Have You Met Miss Jones?
Another Hollywood Saxophone Quartet classic.
arr. Lennie Niehaus
Pavane
Warning - this is our first reading of the chart, and there are a few wrong notes. But listening to it again, there were also some really nice musical moments, so why not share?
