The Sinta Quartet's electrifying performance of Volcanic Ash at the Grand Prize Concert of the 2018 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition!

More information about Volcanic Ash:

Program Notes:
Volcanic Ash is a boisterous and lively piece for saxophone quartet, fusing the harmonic language of Middle Eastern music with the form, rhythms, and overall intensity found in heavy metal. The piece features constant meter changes, low open fifth 'power chords', and sweeping arpeggios, but is complemented by a calm and reflective chorale. Volcanic Ash was written for Sinta Quartet's Composition Competition in 2017, taking Dan Graser's advice of writing a quartet that is "harder, faster, and louder" than my first saxophone quartet, Polar Vortex, in an attempt to challenge the incredibly talented ensemble.

Does this include a score and all parts? Or is this just a score or just the parts?

@carsonwayne1320 Год назад

its actually the soprano and the alto going back in forth which is WAY WAY Harder

@gdbyzantryx810 Год назад

@@carsonwayne1320 The back in forth actually make it easier. I think in this piece it's for range purposes, but composers typically split figures like that up between parts, especially in the band setting.

@holdeenyo8914 10 месяцев назад

in ways it's easier, in other ways it's harder. For less experienced people getting that level of coordination and timing down is much much harder theoretically than just hitting the rights notes. @@gdbyzantryx810

@DawsonColemanSax 5 лет назад

Some people tend to feel a difference with different materials -- I believe Tim McAllister has a video of himself on youtube going to some Selmer factory and trying out a bunch of different necks to see which one sounds the best and gives the most overtones.
