Excellent writing and arranging for almost any combination of sax ensemble. My ensembles can change every semester form four to as many as eight or nine saxes. It can be difficult to find pieces that work with these odd combinations. Thanks to the brilliant arranging by Karen Street and Nigel Wood, “All in Good Time”, “SkyeBoat Song”, I can include all my sax students, in any combination, to play these charts and have a great concert at the end of the semester.
