{"product_id":"afw-48018978","title":"Howling at the Moon","description":"This dark and expressive saxophone quartet fuses music suggestive of different traditions, from Japanese Taiko drumming to African-American gospel singing. The work's title is vividly portrayed in the first movement, which calls for the saxes to do some real wailing! (duration – 12:20)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This expressive quartet for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones was commissioned by the Harmo Saxophone Quartet of Tokyo and is a significant contribution to the repertoire. Blending technical demands with expressive gestures, this three-movement work begins with an episode called Wailing. It has frantic chromatic sweeps that are passed between players and are interrupted by slap-tonguing and pointillistic and fragmented phrases. The slower middle section uses a gospel song style and final frenzied section includes rhythmic vocal sounds and fragmented melodies in triple meter.”--\u003ci\u003eThe Instrumentalist\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50547568607311,"sku":"AFW-48018978","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/1271\/8671\/files\/48018977-wl_9c590fe1-3822-4d28-bc8c-b81e32ff36fc.jpg?v=1790368905","url":"https:\/\/amadeussheetmusic.com\/products\/afw-48018978","provider":"Amadeus Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
