Jupiter from The Planets - Holst arr. Alun Cook

The Bringer of Jollity, certainly for Saxophonists in this challenging arrangement of Holst's gem. Previously arranged for Quartet and Octet, it is expanded here allowing a more vivid interepretation of the original. It will work with just the 12 more usual instruments if you lack the extremes. Mercury and Uranus are also available for Saxophone Choir.

Mercury from The Planets - Holst arr. Alun Cook

The "Winged Messenger" flies at high speed (even using Morse code). This companion piece to my arrangement of Jupiter and Uranus from Holst's Planets Suite is not perhaps quite as hard as it sound at first hearing. Originally arranged for Octet it is expanded in this verson and the extra range of instruments allows a far more vivid interepretation of the original. It will work with reduced numbers if you lack the full paraphernalia, but they do add a new dimension to the piece.

Oily Rag - Alun Cook

Oily Rag is a slippery little number and very challenging at full speed. Originally written for Quartet and then expanded to Octet, it has expanded still further in this incarnation for full Saxophone Choir. It will work with reduced numbers if you lack the full paraphernalia, but they do add a new dimension to the piece.

Uranus from The Planets - Holst arr. Alun Cook

"The Magician" - Holst's brilliance in developing his four-note "idee fix" and slithering block chords present yet more challenges for the saxophonists. Originally arranged for Octet it is expanded in this verson and the extra range of instruments allows a far more vivid interepretation of the original. It will work with just the 12 more usual instruments if you lack the extremes.
