Snowfall

Based on the first movement of the composer's saxophone quartet "Polar Vortex," this grade 2 piece evokes the peacefulness and tranquility of a light winter's snow through simple melodic lines, textural snow flurries, and modal harmony.This piece is a great way to introduce young players to compound meter (6/8) and non-diatonic harmonies, as well as improve upon lyrical playing, intonation, balance, and blend.
