Book 1 contains scores and parts to 10 compositions by jazz master and leader of the World Saxophone Quartet, Julius Hemphill. Newly engraved edition. Edited by Marty Ehrlich.Julius Hemphill formed his Saxophone Sextet in 1989, composing new music for concert performances and his celebrated dance and theatre collaborations. The wide history of African-American music is heard in these pieces, all shaped by Hemphill's rich imagination and compositional acumen. The instrumentation is three altos with soprano doubles, two tenors, and baritone sax. The two volumes presented here mirror each other in the range of musical worlds Hemphill evoked as he explores the rich harmony and counterpoint possible with the six- saxophone choir.

Volume 31 contains, among other works, the Piano Quartet, which was enthusiastically received by the critics in Rheinberger's time: The themes are noble, with significant content, the motivic development is rich and interesting, above all free from anything resembling a mould ... and such a healthy musical wind blows through the entire work that I believe I am not mistaken if I forsee for this work a great success. This is how a contemporary critic reviewed the work. Indeed, op. 38 proceeded to become the most successful of Rheinberger's chamber music works during his lifetime. The Sextet op. 191b is an effective arrangement of his Piano Trio No. 4 op. 191, for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn and piano. All works are also available in separate editions.

The piece, which is unique in its selection of performing forces, was written for bass trombone and wind quintet in 1989 at the request of Sándor Balogh, bass trombonist at the Orchestra of the Hungarian Broadcast. The premiére of the work was given by the trombonist Balogh and the Woodwind Quintet of the Hungarian Broadcast. In this composition just as elsewhere Frigyes Hidas exploits the characteristics of the woodwind instruments thoroughly.

French composer, Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the wind repertoire. Sinfonia da Camera for Wind Sextet was published in 1965 and remains prominent in the ensemble repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. Sinfonia da Camera for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, Horn and Bassoon reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics and is made up of three movements; 1) Entrance, 2) Gigue and 3) Variations. Sinfonia da Camera is essential to the advanced Wind Sextet repertoire. Dubois' work makes for an exciting, varied and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike..

Concertino is about relationships and how they change over time. My first goal in writing the piece was to create two distinct characters, in this case the Oboe and English Horn. The Oboe begins with a berceuse-like melody, while the English Horn's entrance is more ambiguous and rhythmically jagged. Over the course of the piece, these two characters interact through a variety of musical settings, their material or personalities continually developing. The strings, more than mere accompaniment, provide commentary on the dramatic action, much like a Greek chorus. They establish each musical scene, interact with the two woodwinds, and further develop the musical material. And while there is a strong concertante element in the piece, it is essentially chamber music. There is a conversational quality, a sense of give-and-take between everyone involved that makes the two woodwinds first among equals as opposed to featured concert soloists. Each of the eight instruments has something unique and important to say.Concertino is about relationships and how they change over time. My first goal in writing the piece was to create two distinct characters, in this case the Oboe and English Horn. The Oboe begins with a berceuse-like melody, while the English Horn’s entrance is more ambiguous and rhythmically jagged. Over the course of the piece, these two characters interact through a variety of musical settings, their material or personalities continually developing.The strings, more than mere accompaniment, provide commentary on the dramatic action, much like a Greek chorus. They establish each musical scene, interact with the two woodwinds, and further develop the musical material. And while there is a strong concertante element in the piece, it is essentially chamber music. There is a conversational quality, a sense of give-and-take between everyone involved that makes the two woodwinds first among equals as opposed to featured concert soloists. Each of the eight instruments has something unique and important to say.

A three-movement piece which combines orchestral vocabulary with a variety of groove oriented music such as Latin, jazz, and American folk music. It can be performed either with any size string orchestra and winds, or with string sextet (2 violins, 2 violas, cello, bass) and woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, bassoon). The first two movements, allegro moderato and lento, showcase the lyrical side of the saxophone. The third movement, allegro molto, involves a good deal of virtuosity and requires improvisational skills over modal chords.
