The Thunderer by Sousa, arranged for saxophone quartet S/AATB. This is a march written by John Philip Sousa in 1889. It is one of his most famous and often played marches. The Thunderer is a standard march played by all American military bands. Some say it was Sousa's favorite march.
The Thunderer march follows the standard form (IAABBCDCDC) used in many of Sousa’s other marches. Counter melodies are introduced on each repeat and the trio section is more lyrical. This arrangement of The Thunderer is arranged for S/AATB saxophone quartet and is in the original key. The Soprano, Alto, & Tenor saxes each have a turn at a melody or counter melody and the Bari sax drives the whole piece with the bass part. This arrangement of The Thunderer is in the original key. No cuts have been made. The alto sax alternate for soprano sax has a high tessitura but the other parts are well within the 'typical' range. Moderate players should have no trouble with this arrangement.
