A Christmas Festival for Saxophone Quartet

Leroy Anderson originally arranged "A Christmas Festival" as a concert overture for orchestra in 1950. At the time, he was the arranger for the Boston Pops Orchestra. The piece has been arranged for brass bands and wind ensembles, and is a classic from all bands across the United States.

Bari part obviously written for Harry Carney who could do rotational breathing. Great fun.

[@scotthumphrey3126]

I feel like this comment is under rated for the sole fact that Harry Carney isn’t as well known as most others

[@TrashCanBoiBoi]

Oh yeah circular breathing lol, I have trouble with that, I should practice it more

[@rachelchampagne8889]

Oh my god the Bari part in silent night😱

[@TheWaffle115]

Rachel Champagne Luckily, we had a talented Bari sax player!

[@MrCrazyoboist]

I know I just played it ARGGGHHHH

[@ragellejean]

Reminds me when I had 5 days to practice the bari sax part of the Themes from 1812 overture and, giving up on the 10+ bars of tied whole notes.

I love this arrangement. We played Christmas Festival last year as a middle school band (an edited version so it’s easier) and I’m a sax player and this just brings me joy

[@RoseCadenza]

Our Community Band performed the concert arrangement of this. It would be so cool if our sax quartet could perform this.

[@dylanhammond8464]

Hannah the Musician I agree!

Nicely done sir!

[@robertperez2262]

I’m triggered at the missing stuff! Should have been written as a full ensemble.

[@bhmusic2433]

[@romanvalenciano5928]

It is time...

[@legendarymatt6969]

I'm triggered that tenor sax Barely gets the melody, it's always soprano or alto

[@maxbehymer8535]

Legendary Matt and all the low B flats omg they're so awkward to play

[@serennasantana2383]

Legendary Matt YES EXACLTY ALWAYS ITS ALWAYS ALTO it’s so dumb like tenor would be lucky to get it cuz it’s always alto or soprano

[@maxbehymer8535]

Serenna Santana238 as a bass in choir, I understand the pain very well

[@leviradford707]

Legendary Matt - Take a peek at the bari part, especially in silent night

[@jamesringle7920]

Sucks to be a low voice

[@user-gv2du2hl6p]

3:50 ~ 3:58 ?

[@Samuel-ln6qu]

김대한 I know I heard that too

[@driesclaesen7371]

That's just off key

[@jenna243]

Which way are your instruments ordered in? I was planning on getting a saxophone. Which instrument is the second line?

[@quinnromie4133]

Alto

[@chrisrobertvillegas7030]

Alto
Alto
Tenor
Bari

[@maxofoon]

Soprano, alto, tenor, bari. If you start playing saxophone i would advice to begin with an alto saxophone.
