Sax Quartet sheetmusic

At least I'm not decomposing.
I haven't done arranging in quite awhile, but I had thought about rearranging some choral pieces for sax ensemble -- I used to work for a variety of churches and some of the Glad and Integrity Music acapella charts lend themselves nicely to sax partage: I did a complete arrangement of Glad's "O! For a Thousand Tongues to Sing" before relocating to a different church job where there just wasn't enough saxophone players (to do it "right", you need six; four can work, tho).

"Have they recorded any of them?"
No professional recording yet. I've got a demo recording of them playing 6 charts, and I have a recording of some of their sets from the Alexandria Bay NY Jazz/Ragtime festival where they played a few of my charts. We've talked about doing a recording, but it hasn't gone beyond talk so far.

I just bought the octavos. There were both octavos and a "reduction" for voice. The "reduction" didn't cut it. Glad no longer sells the octavo, but sells sheet music that's *allegedly* the full performance track. Check out http://www.glad-pro.com/cartv3/cat.asp?Category=3.tbmartin said:
I administrated copyright for the church I worked at. There shouldn't have been a problem as a) I bought enough books for the people playing the parts and b) the performance wasn't going to have been recorded (for distribution, at least). And we had our yearly fee paid up
.YouTube selections that could pretty nicely be transcribed for a sax ensemble:
You Put this Love in my Heart
Easter Song
In the First Light
Might also want to check out some Take 6. They older stuff is pretty fun, particularly their first album.
Oh. By the way, I used Finale version 1. On a Mac 512. Not for the arrangement I did, but that's the app I used at one of the jobs in my past life.
If anyone has had experience with Finale 1.0, you'll understand why I am the way I am today: it's got beautiful printout, but if you think Finale is difficult to use today, think how it was 20-odd years ago.
